Vbscript to find latest file

[BoanHed]

I am looking for vb script to find the file. The script should first scan the specific location and then go in to the any subfolder in the directory and then scans each folder for files. I will then go and perform some other tasks with this file.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Folcan = "d:\"

Set objFolder = obj1.GetFolder(Folcan)

NewestFile = ""
NewestDate = #1/1/1970#

For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
    If File1.DateLastModified > NewestDate Then
        NewestDate = File1.DateLastModified
        NewestFile = File1.Name
    End If
Next

WScript.Echo NewestFile

Try this code to find latest file in vbscript :

Dim objFSO : Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strParent = "\\test\test1"
 
ScanDirectory (objFSO.Folder1 (strParent)
 
Set objFSO = Nothing
wscript.quit
 
Sub ScanDirectory (Folder2)
  ScanFiles Folder2
  For Each fld in Folder2.SubFolders
    ScanDirectory fld
  Next
End Sub
 
Sub ScanFiles (Folder2)
  Dim Oldest
  For Each fil in Folder2.Files
    If objFSO.GetExtensionName(f1) = "bak" Then
      If Oldest = "" Then Oldest = f1.DateCreated
      If F1.DateCreated > Old=  F1.DateCreated
    End If
  Next
End Sub

dim sMostRecent, dMostRecent
MostRecent("D:\Temp")
fileScript.Echo sMostRecent, dMostRecent
Sub MostRecent (Folder1)
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
dMostRecent = 0
sMostRecent = ""
For Each oFile In oFSO.GetFolder(sFolder).Files
dFileDate = oFile.DateLastModified
If dFileDate > dMostRecent Then
dMostRecent = dFileDate
sMostRecent = file2.Path
End If
Next
End Sub
