In this post, we will learn about get the last modified date of a file in Java
It returns the value in long format,
we need to use SimpleDateFormat to convert into date format
Syntax
file.lastModified();Example
import java.io.File;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class LastModifedDate {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
File file = new File("C:\\Project.log");
if (file.exists()) {
long lastModified = file.lastModified();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println(sdf.format(lastModified));
} else {
System.err.println("File path is not correct ");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
