how can i use a script to copy the newest file in a directory? i.e. I have a number of files with similar names (SCAN1,SCAN2,etc) the highest index is the newest file and there can be a maximum of 150 of these files. I dont want to copy all of them because they are fairly large and at some point there could be 150 of these files, but I just want the most recent one.

I don't know of any script commands that can use Windows built in capabilities to do that, if it has any, but Analog X has a command line utility called New Move that sounds like it has what you need.
