Is there a way to extract the "yonger" file
from a folder?

Thanks.

I would suggest 2 methods

1. Here is the idea - loop though all files and compare their date/times.
This is the most reliable method but more complicated.

Dim( best_time, datetime, "01-01-1900 00:00")
Dim( best_file, string )
Dim( list_length, number )
....

Dir("dir name", list)
Length(list, list_length)
LoopWhile(list_length, END_LOOP)

GetToken( ",", list, file_name )

FileDate(file_name, file_date)

FileTime(file_name, file_date)

MakeDateTime( file_date, file_time, file_datetime )

IsLess( file_datetime, best_time, older_file )

IfThen( older_file, SKIP)

Set( best_time, file_datetime )

Set( best_file, file_name )

SKIP:

Length(list, list_length)
END_LOOP:

// here you are. If best_file is not empty you, found it.

2. Method 2 - use DOS dir with sort options and then and parse the output
RunAndWait ("dir /O-D dir name > dir.log", "", 0, pid)
FileReadLine("dir.log", 6, line)
GetToken(" ", line, file_date)
GetToken(" ", line, file_time)
Trim(line, line)
GetToken(" ", line, file_size)
GetToken(" ", line, file_name)

Hope that helps.
