Select file to send based on Time/Date Stamp 1

[mdpeterson]

I am attempting to compile a script that will send one file from a group of files in a directory. The only file that is to be sent is the one created last. All other files need to be deleted. What is the best way to accomplish this task? Thanks!

Hello,

Can you Describe the Filename Format ?? Is it Time/Date Based ??

This can be done with few Problems..

Here's a script I whipped up a little earlier tonight. It worked fine with the four or five files I copied to the test directory.

proc main
long lDate = 0
string sFname

if findfirst "c:\windows\temp\test\*.*" "NRHSA"
sFname = $FILESPEC
lDate = $FLTIME
while findnext
if $FLTIME >= lDate
lDate = $FLTIME
delfile sFname
sFname = $FILESPEC
else
delfile $FILESPEC
endif
endwhile
else
usermsg "No files found!"
endif
endproc aspect@aspectscripting.com
