# File Modified ?

This wildcard will be replaced by the Unix timestamp for a specified file. To extract the date or time stamp as separate values, this wildcard needs to be nested within another wildcard (refer to the advanced example). The usage of this wildcard is demonstrated as follows:

* {file.modified.?}
* For the following input (?) --> R:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\helmut-IO.ico \[FilePath]
* The output is going to be --> 1584748800000 \[Unix timestamp]

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure that the render node or server has access to the file. If a wildcard is utilized in a server-side stream, ensure that the streams container also has access to the file path.

For an advanced example, consider the following: {convert.timestamp.to\_datetime.{file.modified.R:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\helmut-IO.ico}}.
{% endhint %}
