Question about GetNewestFile

[gchichester]

It it normal for the Result Var of GetNewestFile command to include the complete path and not just the file name?

[JRL]

Seems to be the norm. Use ExtractFileName> to extract the name sans the path.

Code: Select all

GetNewestFile>%temp_dir%*.txt,vFile
ExtractFileName>vFile,vFileName

JRL,
Thanks for your answer, but still having problem with this simple script

Also can you please tell me why the [Code] [/Code] does not work for me?

[code]GetNewestFile>C:\Alldocs\*.Docx,strNewFile
ExtractFileName>strNewFile,NewFile
MessageModal>NewFile
CopyFile>NewFile,C:\OldDocs\NewFile[/code]

The problem with the script is probably because you strip off the path then when you try to copy the file the file is not found. Try doing the copyfile using the strNewFile variable.

Why the (code)...(/code) doesn't work I don't know. I logged in and edited your code and it still didn't work. Must be some setting in your user options. Perhaps you have "Disable BBCode" checked?
