  <pre><code>e.g: if we use ls -lrt &lt;file path/name&gt;
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 tos.tls tos 7140612 Nov 15 15:27 result_file_Nov1513_15:23:49
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is there any way to get the created date (YYYY-MM-DD) of a file without doing text processing for above output (using a direct command) ?</p>
