Batch file to copy a file based on date modified

Question

Folder : C:\\data\\PRODDB\\dir

In the above folder files get created daily in the morning .I want to create a batch script which checks/identifies that folder for the latest file based on date and copy to other location ( d:\\test).

eg: file created as backup_110513.DMP 11/05/2013

We will use a backup software to schedule a backup job to backup the files in the folder(d:\\test) and after that particular file gets backed up from d:\\folder, need to create another script which empties the folder d:\\test.

Thanks.

Answer 2

Try this. When the results you want are displayed remove the "echo.". The goto is necessary so that we exit the loop immediately after copying the newest file.

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir C:\data\PRODDB\dir /B /A-D /O-D') do echo.copy "%%a" d:\test & goto :Done
:Done
pause
