Is there a neater way to get a modification date for a file without ls 
-l & sed ? I have a bash script that needs to get the info. Because the 
file size varies I cannot use cut, it may cut the wrong bit.
     

stat -c "%y" $filename
   

for me: 
stat -c "%y" filename works but stat -c "%y" $filename doesn't.

 

Hi!
the $filename is used in shell script like the following
for filename in /home/foo do
   stat -c %y $filename
