I am trying to download files from a site, sadly they are be generated to include the Epoch Unix timestamp in the file name.

Now as I am unable to replace the Epoch Unix timestamp portion of the file name with a wild card, I was wondering if there was a way to do the download based on the date modified field of the file? Thanks for this. I plan to use this along with task scheduler to download a fresh file every week.

However, the new file overwrites the older one. Is there a way to preserve the older file as well? Ken - You should be able to relatively easily - however, you'd have to download it first, since you can't get the file properties until you download it.

You could download it to a temp location, grab the LastWriteTime stamp and parse it to create your new name. Sumit - You have a similar situation. You'll also need to manage the old copies so you don't fill up your disk. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail.
