Title: Most Current File In Directory Tree
Post by: LAKosin on November 10, 2016, 06:29:04 AM

I seem to be having a major brain freeze.
I need to be able to search a directory structure (Unknown levels of sub directories) to find the file that was most currently written and the file that was most currently accessed.

I'm totally drawing a blank as to how to get started.

Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Use the File and Folder (FaF) extender's functions to traverse the directory structure and obtain file path+names or directory paths. Then either use the FileTimeGetEx or FileInfoToArray function to get the time info. An approach using the former function is a little more straight forward but using the latter could possibly yield a script that executed a little more quickly. The FaF extender is part of the Search extender package that can be found on the WinBatch Download webpage.

Thanks for the information.
I was NOT aware of the FaF extender.
I'll check it out.
