Required .bat file for copy latest file from one location to another location

[ashok1203]

Hi All,

Could you please provide me .bat file for copy the latest file from one location to another location.

Example: we have multiple files in the same folder like

1_201701.qvd

1_201702.qvd

2_201701.qvd

2_201702.qvd

Among the above qvd's i want to copy latest qvd i.e. starts with 2_201702.qvd.

Help me in this regard.

Regards,

Ashok

Hey,

Below will pick up newest file from C:/Source and copy it to C:/Destination.

::======= begin batch
@echo off & setlocal
for /r c:\Source %%a in (.) do (
call :xx "%%a"
)
goto :eof
:xx
for /f "tokens=*" %%b in ('dir /b /s /o-d /a-d %1') do (
echo copying %%~pnxb having date %%~tb
copy %%~pnxb c:\Destination
goto :eof
)
::====== end batch

BR,

Kuba
