Reading Modified time of a file

Hi,

I have to write a method which executes a code block only if the file are modified. I am able to do it by reading modified time of the files but as the number of files in the directory are more its taking time to read each file and verifying the modified time of each file. So please help.

Thanks

Perhaps instead of reading each file use the stat function? That should be quick enough unless you're checking hundreds of files.
