T:W will make the command use file modified time. O:D will make the command print the files list using the file date/time attributes.
It would print the recently modified file at the bottom. You’ll see a list of predefined options like Today, Last Week, Last Month, and so on. It would print the list of files in the order of file modified time. In the File Explorer ribbon, switch to the Search tab and click the Date Modified button.
You can run the below command to find the latest modified file in a directory. forfiles /M *.pdf /C "cmd /c echo How to find the last modified file in a directory? For example, to get modified time/date only for pdf files, we can use the below command. forfiles /C "cmd /c echo can restrict the command only to certain files using * command. Using forfiles command we can get modified date and time for all the files in a directory. You can put the filenames into a text file and type that to the gawk script and that will work for any folder/hidden file combination, and can easily check created/ accessed dates instead of modified by changing the %Y in myscript.To get modified date/time only for files in the current directory(i.e exclude directories from files) dir /T:W /A:-D Using Forfiles command Using Dir, the files have to be in the same folder and you can't mix hidden and non-hidden files. Great suggestion ghostdog74:up:įor the Awk script, test.awk should be myscript.awk. And it can do multiple files, not just two. The GNU utilities would be much easier if you need to compare Created/Accessed dates in different folders without moving either file. Doable, but much more involved using a batch file. You'd have to parse the Date and time stamp from a Dir for each file, convert it to a number format that batch can handle, and then compare the timestamps. Not a good option for larger files, or files on a flash drive. If %_Newer%=1 (Set _Newer=%_File1%) Else (Set _Newer=%_File2%)Įcho The newest file is %_Newer%If you need to compare the Created Date or Last Accessed Date for files in different folders, you can move one of them, compare using the first option, then move the file back. For /F "Delims=" %%I In ('xcopy /DHYL %_File1% %_File2% ^|Findstr /I "File"') Do set /a _Newer=%%I 2>Nul
