Create a plain text file named "lister.sh" with these contents:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

for file in ./*; do
  filename=`basename "$file"`
  
  created=`stat -f '%SB' "$filename"`
  modified=`stat -f '%Sm' "$filename"`
  
  created_s=`date -j -f "%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y" "$created" "+%F %H:%M:%S"`
  modified_s=`date -j -f "%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y" "$modified" "+%F %H:%M:%S"`
  
  echo "$filename,$created_s,$modified_s"
done

Make the script executable with this command in the same directory as
the script:

chmod +x lister.sh

Run the script in a terminal window like so:

../lister.sh > file_times.csv
