Copy folder based on latest date

[Pankaj Kumar]

Hi,

Can anybody send me the java code to do following:

- A directory containing sub-folders with different name and date
- To copy the folder having the most recent date from the directory.

Thanks in advance.

Use File listFiles() and a comparator to sort your array by last mod date.
Apache Commons IO package has LastModifiedFileComparator that you can also use.

listFiles() example to help get you in the right direction:
public class FileWork
{
public static void main(String[] a)
{
File myFile = new File("C:" + File.separator);
for(File s: myFile.listFiles())
{
System.out.println(s);
}
}
}
