I am trying to update the file creation date of a downloaded statement. So far, I am able to extract the date using content matching. I think that I should be able to then change the file date using the touch command through a shell script but I am unsure of the mechanics. Can someone help me out this this?

Not sure this is a Hazel question but i believe you just change create date by running a: touch -t YYYYMMDDhhmm on the file.

Yes, but I has hoping to do this trough a shell script action within Hazel by somehow passing the captured date to the shell script.
