How to get file data modification Ant

Question

I am trying to get file date modification usign Ant xml. I am reading files from a folder and I want to get the file modification date. Linux's command to get that info is: stat -c %y filename. How can I get the same info using Ant?

My Ant code is something like that:

    <basename file="${Files}" property="FileInput"/>

        <length file="${inputFile.dir}/${nomeFileInput}" property="length.fileInput" />
        <echo message="File elab : ${nomeFileInput}" />

<antcallback target="ciclaFile" return="continue"/>
</target>
<target name="ciclaFile" if="${continue}">
    <echo message="Sono in ciclaFile in ${inputFile.dir}" />
    <foreach target="executeImpFile" inheritall="true" inheritrefs="true" param="Files"> 
                           <path>  
                            <sort>
                             <fileset dir="${inputFile.dir}" casesensitive="no">
                             </fileset>
                            </sort>
                          </path>
    </foreach>
</target>

Why do you need the modification date? Many tasks automatically apply actions based on modification date. — VGR, Mar 23 '20 at 15:12
I need it to compare that date with another one stored in the database which always refer to the file. — Emanuele Antico, Mar 24 '20 at 08:02
