[ Java Examples](#)
The following example demonstrates using the `lastModified()` and `setLastModified()` methods of the `File` class to modify a file's last modified date:
## Main.java File
import java.io.File; import java.util.Date; public class Main{public static void main(String[]args)throws Exception{File fileToChange = new File("C:/myjavafile.txt"); fileToChange.createNewFile(); Date filetime = new Date(fileToChange.lastModified()); System.out.println(filetime.toString()); System.out.println(fileToChange.setLastModified(System.currentTimeMillis())); filetime = new Date(fileToChange.lastModified()); System.out.println(filetime.toString()); }}
The output of the above code is:
