in thread setting time stamps on files

I was taking a look at getting touch working but no luck. Forgive my lack of knowledge but does what your saying mean i need to download a "plug in" for perl? cygwin gnu binaries? Thanks Pawz

    I didn't say anything about a plugin. I just meant with that, that if you need a 'touch.exe' for Windows, that there is one available. (Ask Google about the cygwin gnu binaries).

    Can you explain exactly what you are trying to do? I haven't understood it yet.
    Update the time on files:
    1. Not owned by you?
    2. In a directory you can't write to?
    3. Something else?

    C.

      A Posix version of touch is also included in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. I would go with this over cygwin because it will probably be simpilar.
