The problem is, if a NEWER file is add, the file name will be 99. So i want a batch file which could copying the newest file in a folder. Thanks for your help.Easiest way would be to sort the files descending by date and skim off the top entry: CODE: [Select]@echo off for /f %%i in ('dir . /tc /o:d /a-d /b') do ( copy %%i targetdirectory goto tag ) :tag You may have to add path information to suit your environment. Replace targetdirectory to MEET your specs. Hope this helps. 8-)perfect thanks a lot
