Do you need the unix touch utility for Windows? You can write it in Delphi.
This example also shows how to use the functions FindFirst, FindNext and FindClose.

You can download the source and EXE file.

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
program touch;

uses
  SysUtils;

{$R *.RES}

procedure SetFileDate(TheFileName: string; aDate: TDateTime);
var
  f: Integer;
begin { SetFileDate }
  f := FileOpen(TheFileName, fmOpenReadWrite);
  try
    FileSetDate(f, DateTimeToFileDate(aDate));
  finally
    FileClose(f)
  end { try }
end; { SetFileDate }

var
  f: TSearchRec;
  dtTarget: TDateTime;

begin
  dtTarget := Now;
  try
    if FindFirst(paramstr(1), 255, f)=0 then
      repeat
        writeln(f.Name);
        SetFileDate(f.Name, dtTarget);
      until FindNext(f)<>0;
  except
    FindClose(f);
  end; { try }
end.
