如何使用Windows批处理文件查找特定目录？

Question

I have a batch file that finds last modified directory in the path

for /f "delims= %%x in (' dir / ad /od /b "C:\Path") do set newest=%%x

I need to modify this script to only look for certain folders and find a last modified one. For example, if the path contains 4 directories(Red, Blue, Green, Yellow), I want to let command to only look for 2 directories(Blue, Green), and find the latest modified one.

Answer 1

for /f "delims=" %%x in (
  'dir / ad /od /b "C:\Path" ^| Findstr /i "Blue Green" '
    ) do set newest=%%x

Will filter in an or fashion all lines containing Blue or Green in any position in the line.

Answer 2

With directory names like that you'll even get away without the findstr:

@ECHO OFF
FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%A IN ('DIR/B/AD-L/OD "C:\PATH\B?UE" "C:\PATH\GR?EN"') DO (
    SET "NEWEST=%%A"
SET NEWEST
