Produces newfile.txt. You would need to set your required directory name in sourcedir
. I showed the data as date/time fullfilename because fullfilename is of variable-length whereas date and time are fixed. Might have been easier if you'd shown us the format you expect - saves guesswork and revisions.
To show the two most recently modified files, change .../b /a-d /o:d "%%~...
to .../b /a-d /o:-d "%%~...
(note -
between the o:
and d
)
