Copy the latest content of the folder

[suneelkv]

Hi Friends,

Please let me know how to copy the recently added file contents to a folder.

My req is something like this.

I've a folder called \desktop\pro in my PC.

Everytime i run my VI exe few .jpg's would be added to that.

So the most recent .jpg's whichever were added to that i need to copy to a new folder \desktop\template

Please let me know how to implement this...

Hi Suneel,

read all files and create a list of them. If there are file in your folder which are not in the list, then copy them. After copying update your file. If you need it only ones a day, you can read the date and decide with reference to this which you want to copy.

Hope it helps.

Hi Mike,

If there are file in your folder which are not in the list, then copy them.

Please be more specific how to do this check technically in Labview.

Below is the VI attached which i've done so far.

ANd one more thing i couldnt copy  the content (.jpg's alone) its copying the entire folder.

COuld you suggest the best functions which i can directly use.

Hi Suneel,

read first the content of the folder. Compare the result with a list, maybe an ini file and copy only the files which are new. To copy single files, contect the file path to the copy function.

If you want no administration effort, then you can copy everytime the entire directoy.

If storing of the jpg is under your control, then name them along with the current system time. So once you run your vi the jpgs will be created have the name of current time.In list file you can define the pattern accordingly and read them.

IS that what you were looking for?
