File Date Comparison Utility

This console application compares the timestamps of two files whose names are passed on the command line. It returns an exit code that indicates the result.

Both Windows (64 and 32 bit) and Linux (64 bit) versions of the program are available.

Dates can be compared using logical comparison operators eq (=), neq (≠), lt (<), lte (≤), ge (>) and gte (≥). The program can compare either the last modification date or the creation date of files. In the case of shortcut files either the date of the shortcut file itself or that of the file it references can be compared (Windows version only).

CompFileDate is hosted on GitHub in the ddabapps/compfiledate repository.
