Get latest file

Hi.
I'm writing a program that at a certain time it takes a file and does some work. But when this time comes it has to take the latest file and work with that. A new file is created once per day and I have to be able to see what is the latest file and use that one. How can I check to see which one is the latest.

The class java.io.File has a method that returns you the last time a file was modified:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/io/File.html#lastModified().

Variable to get Latest File Name

Hi All,
I have a requirement of loading a Flat file(.csv) into an Oracle table.
There will a file coming in on regular basis which will be the source to Oracle table.
The name is like DATA_<date>.csv, i need to pick the latest file which has arrived and use it as the source.
I have created a datastore and used a variable name *(#var_FILE_NAME)* in the resource name field, so that i can refresh the variable and then execute the interface to pick the filename refreshed by the variable.
But what query should i write in the variable to get the latest file name.?
Thanks in advance!
Warm Regards,
VBV

Hi Guru/Ananth,
Thanks for you reply.
@Ananth: I have already checked this blog, but in this blog they have mentioned about the usage of Declare Variable. But in my case I'm going to refresh the Variable.
@Guru: This query will work in case if i get the file daily. But in case if i get file on different days, ineed to pick the latest file. hope you get the requirement.
Thanks in advance!
Warm Regards,

RH10 not prompting to get latest files or check in changes

Hi,
Our documentation group consists of 5 writers. We all upgraded from RH9 to RH10 this week. We use Visual SourceSafe as our version control system. I upgraded a project, closed and reopened it, and was prompted to get the latest files, as expected. When I close the project, I am prompted to check in the files, as expected.
Here's the problem:
When another writer opens the same project, she is not prompted to get the latest files. When she changes a topic, it gets checked out automatically, but when she closes the project, she is not prompted to check in the files.
She and I have the same version control settings in the project (Tools --> Options --> Version Control).
What could be causing this? Is there a user-level setting somewhere that might have gotten modified when she upgraded to RH110? Everything was working as expected for her in RH9 (she was being prompted to get the latest files and check in the files).
Thanks,
Amy

How to get latest added file from a folder using apple script

Hi..
I am trying to get a latest added file from a folder..and for this i have below script
tell application "Finder"
    set latestFile to item 1 of (sort (get files of (path to downloads folder)) by creation date) as alias
    set fileName to latestFile's name
end tell
By using this i am not able to get latest file because for some files the creation date is some older date so is there any way to get latest file based on "Date Added" column of a folder.

If you don't mind using GUI Scripting (you must enable access for assistive devices in the Accessibility System Preference pane), the following script should give you a reference to the last item added to any folder. Admittedly not the most elegant solution, but it works, at least under OS X 10.8.2.
set theFolder to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
    activate
    set theFolderWindow to container window of theFolder
    set alreadyOpen to exists theFolderWindow
    tell theFolderWindow
        open
        set theInitialView to current view
        set current view to icon view
    end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
    -- Arrange by None:
    set theInitialArrangement to name of menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu item "Arrange By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 whose value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is "✓"
    keystroke "0" using {control down, command down}
    -- Sort by Date Added:
    set theInitialSortingOrder to name of menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu item "Sort By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 whose value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is "✓"
    keystroke "4" using {control down, option down, command down}
    -- Get the name of the last item:
    set theItemName to name of image 1 of UI element 1 of last scroll area of splitter group 1 of (window 1 whose subrole is "AXStandardWindow")
    -- Restore the initial settings:
    click menu item theInitialSortingOrder of menu 1 of menu item "Sort By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
    click menu item theInitialArrangement of menu 1 of menu item "Arrange By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
end tell
tell application "Finder"
    set current view of theFolderWindow to theInitialView -- restore the initial view
    if not alreadyOpen then close theFolderWindow
    set theLastItem to item theItemName of theFolder
end tell
theLastItem

HT201210 I installed latest iTunes software on my Windows 7 PC, and now I keep getting error messages. Mainly one stating that MSVCR80.dll is missing. Where do I get this file from?

I installed the latest iTunes software on my Dell Windows 7 PC. Durring installation, when it got to the "Starting Services" part, I got an error message:
iTunes
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Devices) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services.
Abort Retry Ignore
"Ignore" was highlighted.
I tried "Retry" but same message kept coming up, so I tried "Ignore"
Install completed. But when I tried to start iTunes, I got message:
"iTunes.exe
The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
Followed by the message:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)."
I have tried the install procedure (after uninstalling iTunes) several times with the same results. Where do I get the file MSVCR80.dll? How do I get past this?

TFS get latest with Integration Services project causes changes to dtproj file

Does anyone know how to stop this behaviour? Get latest should not cause changes to be made to a file so far as I know.
Also, when viewing the differences TFS says the files are identical...
...And, undo pending changes just results in the same changes being made once they're undone.

Hi Dev4,
Sorry for bringing you any inconvenience on waiting a long time for Microsoft assistance. Unfortunately your thread did not reach into our support queue until yesterday. I would like to check with you when you renewed or registered your subscription account.
We can see it only after you registered or renewed your subscription account.
For this issue, based on our analysis, it is mostly related to TFS. I have involved TFS engineers for a further look at this issue. Below is from their support:
As far as I know the Get Latest operation synchronizes your workspace with the latest version on the TFS server.
Please consider the following scenario, for example if one of your team members makes some changes to the Integration Services project and then submits these changes to the TFS server, however if you do not get that changed Integration Services project
to your local machine, the dtproj file on your local machine is different from that on the TFS server. At this time, when you get do the Get Latest Version operation in the Source Explorer, the dtproj file on your local machine will be “overwritten”
by the server version. So it seems that your local dtproj file is changed.
If you want to undo the Get Latest Version operation, you can just use the Get Specific Version operation in the Source Explorer to get your appropriate version of the dtproj file.
Hope this helps,
If you have questions about TFS in future, please post them in http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/tfsversioncontrol/threads/ to
get quick support.

Some files become 0 KB when a get latest is done from RoboSource

Hi,
Now whenever I do a get latest from RoboSource, some or all of the files become 0KB both in local and in the server. History of the all these files are also lost.
What could be the problem?
I have placed my online help in RoboSource Control Server that came with RH 7.
I have recently upgraded client from RH7 to RH8. I am using the Source Control Explorer that has come with RH8 but using the Source Control Server that has come with RH7.
Is this a compatibility issue?
Regards,
Saj

Hi Saj and Peter. The word "server" may be confusing the issue here. If I'm not mistaken, Saj is not using RoboHelp Server. Rather, it's RoboSource Control "Server". If that's the case, there was no change in the version of RoboSource Control between RH 7 and RH 8.
Both are RoboSource Control 3.1 so there should be no compatibility problem there.
However, I wonder if there is an issue of how Saj initially upgraded the RH 7 project that was in RSC in RH 8 so that all the project files become compatible with the new RH 8 file formats? Did he open the entire project, so that it could be converted at once, or was it piecemeal? Also, Saj, have you made sure to install all the latest critical updates (8.0.1 and 8.0.2)?
http://www.adobe.com/support/robohelp/downloads.html
I only rarely use RSC, so rather than my speculating, perhaps Peter could move this post to the Source Control sub-Forum and let folks like Gravenstein, Elisa, MergeThis, take a look at it and offer some suggestions for best practices when upgrading from RH 7 to RH 8 when using RSC.
Meanwhile, I found this post by Amebr which speaks (somewhat) to the issue of upgrading which you may find useful.

It's post #9 toward the bottom of the thread.

You can upgrade to Mountain Lion
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

Unexpected Error during get latest

I support RoboHelp and RoboSource for a couple people in my
company. One of them recently has been having issues while
performing a get latest on all the files when RoboHelp initially
starts up. In the middle of the get latest an error message pops up
"Unexpecte Error: please contact the system administrator." When
she clicks okay the get latest stops midstream, without getting
many of the files. I am the system administrator and have no idea
what the issue is. I made sure all the files from both of the
client computers were checked in properly. And still the error.
Just as a side note, we are still on RoboHelp X5 and the help
system we have created is rather large.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Seth

Hi Seth,
this error message is extremely helpful, isn't it? ;-)
It can have any number of reasons, but in my experience the
most probaböe ones are:
- The project has been added to RSC by importing the
respective folders using RoboSource Control Explorer instead of
using the Add to Version Control command from within RoboHelp
Office. Therefore, the database contains several files which must
not be there. Look for the project's cbd-file in the database; if
it's there, this will be the cause.
- The database is corrupt. Stop the RoboSource service on the
server and run a jetcomp over the database.
If the problem persists, please ask again; I'm under a slight
time pressure right now.

Get Latest Version extremely slow

Hello,
When we do a "Get Latest Version" for a project containing about 450 subfolders this operation shows the "Contacting server to get list of items to update..." for a very long time. Eventually it will come up with an error "HTTP code 500: Internal Server Error". The event log indicates a time out. I have already increased the executionTimeout values for the various .config files used by the Web Services. This increases the time it takes for this error to appear (this can take up to 2 hours) but the error still appears. These subfolders each contain about 20 files with a total size in each folder of 180KB.
While the "Get Latest Version" is active the server CPU is not busy at all, it stays at 1-2%. It does not matter if we do the get latest from a client or on the server itself, the result is the same. It looks as if Team Foundation is blocked on something.
When we do "Get Latest Version" on a smaller project (2250 files, 272 folders, total size of all files 134 MB) the operation also takes a long time, but it completes successfully.
I've only been able to retrieve all files successfully by creating a .cmd file which contains a get command for each individual sub folder:
tf get Folder1 /force /recursive
tf get Folder2 /force /recursive
tf get Folder3 /force /recursive
etc.
The execution of this command file takes about 20 minutes. During this time the TF server shows a much more substantial CPU load.
We are running our Team Foundation Server (single-server deployment) on a Dell PoweEdge SC440 server (3.0 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP1).
I have searched the forums for hints on these performance problems, but haven't found anything except instructions to look at the network configuration (half duplex/full duplex/auto detect). This can not be the issue since the issue also appears locally on the server.
Any help would be appreciated, we really need to improve the performance of the system to make it usable for us.
Regards,
Henk.

I'm sure there is a problem with our domain controller setup. When I had problems installing Team Foundation I found a post which advised to run a dsquery statement which does something similar to what the Team Foundation installation tries to do. When I tried this statement it failed with an error, at that point I decided to switch to using Workgroup accounts for the setup.
Having said that, I had no problems logging on to the Team Foundation server system using a domain account, but it does appear other parts of the Active Directory functionality are not working correctly. We do not have much Active Directory expertise at the moment, it's something we will look into later.

Thank you for your reply,
My solution:
Step 1: Created an ## teamp table
Create Table ##FileName(Id int Identity, FileName Varchar(500),DateValue varchar(20))
2: With the help of For each loop container captured file names and store those information into ##temp table.
3: Capture MMDDYY value from file name and convert that value into date by using below expression.
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), (Select Max(cast(left(DateValue,2)+'-'+SUBSTRING(DateValue,3,2)+'-'+RIGHT(DateValue,2) as DATE)) from ##FileName), 1), '/', '')
4: With help of MAX function captured latest file from folder.

Download data in text format from your online broker.
Parse file for line with required stock.
Use StringTokenizer for dissection.
Convert data.
Display in applet.
I once had an application called MyTrader and they had all kind of data in their application for free. But I don't know if you can get at the raw data and not how up to date, but I think they were quite fresh.
