Subject: Checking a file's time stamp.


Hi all,
I am wanting to check to see the last time a file was edited. For example, I have a directory containing two text files, file1.txt and file2.txt.   I want to be able to process these files but only if they have been edited since the last time they were processed. I think that I want to be able to check the time stamp of each file. Can anyone tell me how to do that or point me in a better direction of checking the last time a file was edited?
Thanks,
Bill
