Hi,
I have been trying to write a script that will determine the most recent file in a directory conforming to a naming convention, but I’m a stuck.
I have a program that outputs 3 files to a directory and I need to determine the most recent or ideally the 2nd most recent and copy those to a different directory.
All the files are already autonumbered, I just need to make a script that I can schedule that will do the determining and copying.
The file conventions I have are:
OUTPUT_34563f_258393
MARK0_34563f_258393
GHREWY_34563f_258393
Next output:
OUTPUT_34563f_258394
MARK0_34563f_258394
GHREWY_34563f_258394
etc…
The last number is the only one that changes, the 1st is content description and 2nd is machine serial.
Can anyone help me please?!
