How to get filename of the latest one in the selected directory

[mwu_io]

Hi, everyone.

I would like to know how to get the filename of the latest modified or latest created one from the selected directory.

I think there is no labview function to do so.

Any beneficial information is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi mwu,

You can look at this example as it does almost what you want to do:

Find Most Recent Folder in a Folder of Files

https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-10765 

It gets the last created subfolder in a folder. To get it scan for the most recent file you have to use the output "File Name" of the "List Folder" vi.

You cna find the modified VI attached or modify it yourself.
