Preserve File Modification Date

[aimy]

Hi.

Is it possible to preserve the file modification date even after changes were made?

Really hope that the answer is yes.

But how do I achieve that?

Thank you.

Do you mean that you want to modify some files without changing their modification times?
Why would you want to do that?

If there is a good reason for it you might:

• record the files' modification times (perhaps using DIR on the Windows command line);
• modify the files;
• change the modification times back to the saved modification times (perhaps using a version of linux touch or Powershell LastWriteTime on the Windows command line).
