The DIR command in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b) allows you to determine the date and time a file was last modified.

The following code returns a struct 'file' which contains a date field for file 'filename.m'.

file = dir('filename.m')

file.date

For more information on the DIR function, execute 'doc dir' at the MATLAB Command Prompt or navigate to the following documentation link:
