hi,
I think that you should use tFileProperties (file/management) componenent to get this information

thanks

on which OS are you working ?
On *nix date creation file isn't store on the system i think !
only modification date can be access for a file ; so when you create a file it means a "modification" of a file (its creation)
you 've got this article (french one) about date creation file .
hope its help you

Well,
The modification date should be enough...
So I have another probleme, this is my routine:
public static Date modifDate(String chemin)
{
File f = new File(chemin);
Date lastModify= new Date (f.lastModified());

return lastModify;
}

I have an error on the word file...
The auto-completion doesn't give a class like util.io.file ....???

Witch class I have to use in talend ???
TIS 3.0.2 r 20205
Thanks

OK thanks,
Other one ...sorry.
I have my date in long format HOW can I have a String with the format yyyyMM ???
In my routine I have the date at date format with:
Date lastModify= new Date (date_long);
But how to have a string format with yyyyMM ??

I think you have to use the TalendDate routines method formatDate(String pattern, java.util.Date date).where pattern is your format date (yyyyMM)
you can have a look in code source Routines->System->TalendDate for more details.
You can use it directly in your own routine or with you return "lastModify" value.
But you can also do it directly with Talend's component.

here simple example using Talend Component
tFileProperties ----main---->tFilterColumn ----main---->tJavaRow
in your schema tFilterColumn keep just mtime (long) for your application
in tJavaRow catch the input row ; set to a type date and format in yyyyMM

java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date(input_row.mtime);
System.out.println(TalendDate.formatDate("yyyyMM",date));
// or in one 'shoot' :
// System.out.println(TalendDate.formatDate("yyyyMM",new java.util.Date(input_row.mtime)));

for result

Thanks a lot,
i find a different way with a routines and using the file path:
public static String monthDate(String chemin)
{
File f = new File(chemin);
Date lastModify= new Date (f.lastModified());

SimpleDateFormat formatDateJour = new SimpleDateFormat("MM");
String dateFormatee = formatDateJour.format(lastModify);
return dateFormatee;
}
