find the creation date of a csv file in swift

To find the creation date of a CSV file in Swift, you can use the FileManager class to obtain the file attributes, including the creation date. Here's an example of how to do it:

main.swift
let filePath = "path/to/csvfile.csv"
let fileURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)

do {
    let fileAttributes = try FileManager.default.attributesOfItem(atPath: fileURL.path)
    let creationDate = fileAttributes[.creationDate] as? Date
    print("The CSV file was created on: \(creationDate!)")
} catch {
    print("Error retrieving file attributes: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
386 chars
11 lines

In this example, we first create a URL object representing the file path to the CSV file. Then, using the attributesOfItem function of the FileManager class, we retrieve the file attributes for the CSV file, including the creation date. Finally, we print out the creation date.

Note that we force unwrap the creation date optional with the "!" operator assuming that the file exists and has a creation date. It would be safer to first check if the optional is not nil before force unwrapping.
