download according to date/time stamp

Post by gretchen »

hi all,

does anyone have information on how to download only the most recent file based on the date/time stamp in the file name itself?

we are trying to automate downloads of mainframe MVS files to a server for processing.

for example, if we have:
DA.FILEONE.D100131.T080000.IN
DA.FILEONE.D100131.T120000.IN
DA.FILEONE.D100201.T080000.IN

we would like to only download the DA.FILEONE.D100201.T080000.IN file.

i've done a few searches on this forum but apparently am not using the correct terminology. :?

thanks so much!
