Subject: st: how to use timestamp of a file (that one is insheeting)
Hi,
I would like to use the date and time a file was created in some
analysis. The operating system knows that time, of course. However, I
found no Stata command that would fetch that data for me, nor a way I
could use the command line to get that (though I know I can invoke
that with -shell-).
The file would be the same that an -insheet- command imports in my
code, in case this helps anything.
Thank you very much,
Laszlo
