Hi everyone, I used CSV reader node to read a csv file which is regularly updated every 2 days. And I would like to get that update date of the csv file and add into the output table as a column “TimeStamp” with format ‘%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S’. Could you please advise me how to do so? Thanks a lot for your help Hanh

Hi HanhDo, you can, there is in fact a dedicated node to it, the FIles/Folders Metadata node . I have created a small example for you. What I did was to write the filepath in an empty table, convert it to data type of path and then extract the meta info through the aforementioned path.

@HanhDo

I assume that you are talking about the timestamp of the file creation.
AFAIK it is not possible to get this information directly. But there might be a workaround
