[dos batch] - how to read the newest file name from a folder

Hi,

I am trying to read and then copy the name of the 1st or latest file in a folder called c:\backup. This is so when I do a restore, I always have the most current file name I am using. Any ideas?

Thanks.

The command: dir /a:-d /b /o:d /t:w
Will have the name of the last modified file on the last line.

Found the below. Maybe it helps.

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%x in ('dir /od /a-d /b *.*') do set recent=%%x
echo %recent%
