The Files Function borked?

[Bob Sneidar]

What would really be handy is a way to get the detailed file information for a single file. There is a use case where there may be many thousands of files in a directory, and enumerating the detailed files then filtering for the one you want seems onerous and probably time consuming. 

I throught about rolling my own, but then when doing this for Windows and using the shell command I keep getting “file not found.” 

answer file "Select file"  put it into tFileName
put "dir /T:W "  & quote & tFileName & quote into tCmd
put shell(tCmd)

I doubt it but is there a command in Livecode to get the mod date of a file?
