Get last modified file name from a directory

Report

Hi,

I have a requirement to obtain the last modified file from a set of files in a specific folder. The folder path is passed as a parameter.

I need to obtain the latest modified file and read its content via an activity or a DT.

Is there any way to obtain this without incorporating Java?

TIA

This was resolved by implementing an activity with the following steps.

  1. Set the folder path to a parameter
  2. Copy the list files in the target directory using D_SPOnlineGetFiles data page to a single page property.
  3. Sort the results in the single page property using the last modified date property in descending order
  4. Get the first result in the sorted list
