Java Examples - Modify the File's Last Modified Date
Java ExamplesThe following example demonstrates how to use the File class's fileToChange.lastModified() and fileToChange.setLastModified() methods to modify the file's last modified date:
Main.java file
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Date;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
File fileToChange = new File("C:/myjavafile.txt");
fileToChange.createNewFile();
Date filetime = new Date(fileToChange.lastModified());
System.out.println(filetime.toString());
System.out.println(fileToChange.setLastModified(System.currentTimeMillis()));
filetime = new Date(fileToChange.lastModified());
System.out.println(filetime.toString());
}
}
The output of running the above code is:
