batch - File last modification time with seconds

Question

I want to know when a file has been modified for the last time. I can get these infos using the following batch script: FOR %%i IN (myfile) DO SET modif_time=%%~ti The problem is that I need the second of the last modification and the command `%~t` returns the date and the time with only hours and minutes. I can only check the seconds by manually viewing the "property window" file by file. How can I get the time with seconds in batch?

Accepted Answer

```
wmic datafile where name="FileName" get LastModified
```

`FileName` must contain the full path with double backspaces.

Sorting example (recent first):

```
for /f "delims=" %a in ('wmic datafile where "drive='c:' and path='\windows\'" get LastModified^,Name /format:table^|find ":"^|sort /r') do @echo %a
```
