batch to get last modified file in a folder?

[marcorocchini]

Hi cats,

please I wonder if is there a way to build a batch that output the last modified .mxf file in a folder

for example:

C0001.MXF
C0002.MXF
...
C0008.MXF is the last

--> the batch should out C0008.MXF

thanks

:: ----------EXAMPLE.BAT-----------
@ECHO OFF
FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%F IN ('DIR /B /A-D /OD /TW C:\FOLDER\c*.mxf') DO (
SET FILE=%%F
)
ECHO Most recently modified file is:
ECHO %FILE%
ECHO %FILE% > X:\OutputPath\Results.txt

Modify paths,folders for your needs

thanks you, I see that only now. However honestly I need to change my basic request in this way:

Hi, please I have a myfile.txt that contains:

Code:
"C0001.MXF" "C0002.MXF" "C0003.MXF" "C0004.MXF" "C0005.MXF" "C0006.MXF" "C0007.MXF"
Can I isolate only the last item:

C0007.MXF

? thanks

You may have to adjust myfile.txt but you can use multiple delimiters:

@echo off
    setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion

    for /f "delims=" %%a in (myfile.txt) do (
        set "buffer=%%a"
        setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
        (for /f "tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7 delims=¬" %%b in ("!buffer:" "=¬!") do (
            endlocal
            echo full line    : [%%a]
            echo first token  : [%%b]
            echo second token : [%%c]
	    echo third token  : [%%d]
            echo fourth token : [%%e]
            echo fifth token  : [%%f]
	    echo 6th token    : [%%g]
	    echo Last token   : [%%h]
        )) || if "!!"=="" endlocal 
    )
