Local file modified date

Describe the problem/error/question

I would like to extract the modified date of files. I want to grab any files that were updated in the past day to execute some code over those files. the read files from disk node does not include that metadata and I don’t want to use the trigger “when file changed” as the files will process and update many times/day.

What is the error message (if any)?
