Have a look at the "dir" command. The actual output will be system
dependent:


octave> list = dir("dummy.m")
list =
{
  bytes = 3
  date = 27-Sep-2005 16:07:49
  isdir = 0
  name = dummy.m
  statinfo =
  {
    atime = 1127833669
    blksize = 4096
    blocks = 8
    ctime = 1127833669
    dev = 774
    gid = 1000
    ino = 430197
    modestr = -rw-r--r--
    mtime = 1127833669
    nlink = 1
    rdev = 0
    size = 3
    uid = 1000
  }

}

octave> list.date
ans = 27-Sep-2005 16:07:49
