Get last modified date of a file and perform action

[Anonymous]

Hi,
 I am newbee and trying to understand how this Long time format  of the tfileproperties "mtime" and sting format of mtime_string can be compared with current time. I gone through the forum but nothing help me. This date comparison is taking hell lot of time.
 
 
My Requirement
   I need to check the last modified date of the file and if it is equal to current date then copy this file and transform to XML file form.
Here i have done the "copy the file"" and "transform to XML file actions"
But Only thing i need to do is verify the file last modified time and if it is equal to current date then perform the action.
Any help is really appreciates since i have been trying this for 2 days still the conversion is giving me lot of trouble.
I tried to use the mtime and mtime_string of tfileproperties and nothing is helping me. There should be simple way but not able to get it.
Attached the jobdesign
The mtime_string throwing the below error.

The Jobdesign
tfileProperties-->tfilterColumn-->tmap--LogRow
 
the tMap
row2                                 modified_output
mtime_string  -->  TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd", row2.mtime_string)

I am doing anything wrong?  Or is anyother easy way to do this.

you can use below expression in tMap. 

new Date(row2.mtime) 

it will give Date object which you can format if needed.

If you can give me the detail step how to configure that would be really great.

Umesh, It was my mistake.  It works fine with new Date(row2.mtime)
row2                        modified_output
mtime  -->  new Date(row2.mtime) 
Got the below result

Now i get the Date. Can you help me to compare this output with currentDate. 
What i want is to use the "Run If " a subjob if the CurrentDate is equal with the above output.  How can i achieve this ?
