Writing Script to Copy Newest Directory
I am trying to write a script that once executed it will search within a directory and copy only the newest directory that has not been copied before to a new location. Kind of like what ROBOCOPY /M does in windows?
The directories are not left in the new location so using a sync action won't really work.
Thanks
