-6

I want to subtract the last modified date of a file to the current date. Is there a proper way that I can use in java? My problem is I don't know how to do it.

  • @tnw The original purpose of Stack Overflow was to be the top results in a Google search. So googling other domains is *not* a requirement to using Stack Overflow. But searching for duplicates *within* Stack Overflow is expected, and posting without bothering to search first certainly is rude. – Basil Bourque Mar 10 '17 at 03:28

File file = new File("c:\\logfile.log");
System.out.println("Before Format : " + file.lastModified());
