Macro with input, need to get modified date from file

I have a macro that has been working fine, but i need to add the modified date of the file for processing. I know the dynamic input will allow me to get the modified date, but the macro itself has a macro input that is populating fullpath of file. How do I get that into the dynamic input tool. Do I need to create a batch macro to add to my current macro or is there an easier way to get information from the Fullpath field?

hi @tmonroe

You can, in theory, have unlimited number of user inputs to any macro. so I think you can modify the existing macro to accommodate the additional user input.

If you can share the workflow, i can help you with a first crack.

Wouldn't the new input have same issue. I want to push the filename into the directory tool, so it can give me the modified date?

Yes, that is what I thought I had to do. Create a batch macro and include that in my standard macro. I was thinking maybe i was missing an easier solution to getting a modified date of a known file.

Thank you.

Hi @tmonroe

Another way to do it is to use an analytic app.

let user specify the tab name, and file via appropriate use input interface then use those inputs to update/create a full path to access data.

cheers
