Hi,
I have a a given number, nb, of file in a folder, how can I extract the timestamp of every file in the folder? What's the easiest way to do it? Filenames are such as filename_001 to filename_nb.
D = finename); TimeStamp = {D.datenum}; enables to extract the data of a file.
Many thanks,
Kent

Matlab's dir command returns the modification date of the files as one of the field of its output structure.
d = dir(fullfile(foldername, 'filename_*');
struct2table(d); %or whatever you want to do with the structure

Hi Titus, Dir() returns the modification time with second precision, is there any way to get ms precision?
