Copy latest file from a path location to Sharepoint

PowerShell Help
#1

Hi dear community,

What I want to achieve? great question, I want to copy the lastest file that was uploded to a Path directory and then copy it towards another path location for reporting purposes,

the code I’m using to attemp accomplish this action is the next one:

$filterDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-5).Date
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\repo\scripts\Copy move files\source\*.*" -File -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object {$_.TimeCreated -ge $filterDate}
foreach($File in $Files){
    Copy-Item -Destination "C:\repo\scripts\Copy move files\target\" $File.FullName
}

someone else also recomeded me to use the << Where-Object { $.LastWriteTime -ge $FindDate -and $.LastWriteTime -le $Finddate.adddays(1) } >> but I’m not sure how to implemted it or if will actually search the newest/latest files within a given directory that is my main goal for later move it towards a Sharepoint for reporting purposes

If you just want the newest file you can sort the output by the property “TimeCreated” or “LastWriteTime” and use the last or the first one depending on the sort order.
