Hello, just want to know if Matlab can import the file that is most recent made based on their modified date and time?
I have several Excel files and want it read and do analysis?
Thanks.

Hi,
you could get the excel files with
d= dir('*xls');
and then compare the dates. These are in
d(j).date
You probably better convert them to numbers to compare them
dd = zeros(length(d));
for j = 1:length(d)
dd(j) =datenum(d(j).date);
end
[tmp i]=max(dd);
load(dd(i).name)

I used the answer by pfb to read the most recent txt file. To make the answer more complete:
d = dir('somefolder/*txt');
dd = zeros(length(d), 1); % to init as vector instead of square matrix
for j = 1:length(d)
dd(j) = datenum(d(j).date);
end
[~, i] = max(dd); % tmp is the datenum, which is not necessary
lines = readlines(fullfile(d(i).folder, d(i).name)) % should be d instead of dd.
