In 10.4 I could use

set d to modification date of file "system:private:tmp:test"

to get the modification date of a file. In 10.5 this doesn't work anymore. I guess I could use a shell script but that feels like a lot of hassle. There must be built in support for this in Applescript but Google didn't find anything.


I'm not sure that it works in 10.4.x

it would be better to code:
tell application "Finder"
set d to modification date of file "system:private:tmp:test"
end tell

or

set d to modification date of (get info for file "system:private:tmp:test")

But, I'm not sure that your pathname is correct.

I guess that it would be better with:

set p2s to path to system folder as Unicode text
tell application "Finder"
set d to modification date of file (p2s & "private:tmp:test")
end tell

or

set p2s to path to system folder as Unicode text
set d to modification date of (get info for file (p2s & "private:tmp:test"))
