I would like to fork my Windows batch script based on a comparison of the created dates of two files, and I'm not sure where to begin. I feel like there must be a way. Any ideas?

**UPDATE:**
Tried the solution in PA's answer. I copied the code snippet verbatim to the end of my current script. Then, I added this early in the script:

```
IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%" CALL :getCreationDate "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\oracle\jinitiator 1.3.1.28\lib\security\certdb.txt"

```

which gives me an error when I execute:
 Invalid alias verb.
