list directory in lastest modified

[krispiekream]

hi...

does anyone know how to list a directory? I need to list the file names in the latest modified date.

 thanks in advance

There is a VI called "File/Directory Info" in the File I/O>>Advanced File Function Palette.  I think this will do what you want.

I had something like this in mind...

Hi jmc,

why do you use all those conversions? It should work the same without...

Aside from this: nice example!

That is a great question, and it does work the same without converting to DBL and back.  I suppose I did it this way because it is the way I have done it in the past, not good justification though!.  Good observation!

A better solution...

For this, you need to Reverse this Sorted Array of Clusters before the For loop with Unbundle node, in the provided example.

LabVIEW always give us the possibilities for optimization...

This also should be OK: Only one for-loop and without sorting:
