File Time comparison

[sadanand]

Hi,
i have two files which are created at x and y time (date,Day,time) .
I want to compare the time of each file and pick the latest file.

How can I do that?

thanks in advance.

Simply use one of the standard file test functions to determine the time of each file and then compare them.

perldoc -X
perldoc stat

Thnaks Miller,

I am able to get the time of two files.
But I am not able to compare the times.

What are you doing thus far? I won't be able to advise you without knowing what code you are using to determine the file date/time and the format of that date.
