[Linux-disciples] Changing the datestamp on a file

[Stephen R Laniel]

I have a bunch of files named yyyy-mm-dd (year, month, day), created at
various points over my blog's lifetime. I've edited those files over
time, so the datestamps have changed; in some cases I've used sed to
create entirely new files, so the creation date changed.

So now I'd like to change the creation-date (or last-modified-date) stamp
on all my files; if they're named yyyy-mm-dd, I'd like their date stamp
to say that they were created on that date. Is such a thing possible?
