Code:

FileList =
Loop, %var_ntlogs_Path%\*.log, 1 
FileList = %FileList%%A_LoopFileTimeModified%`t%A_LoopFileName%`n
Sort, FileList, R ; Sort by date reverse.
Loop, parse, FileList, `n
{
   if A_LoopField =  ; Omit the last linefeed (blank item) at the end of the list.
      continue
   StringSplit, var_FileItem, A_LoopField, %A_Tab%  ; Split into two parts at the tab char.
}
filecopy, %var_ntlogs_Path%\%var_FileItem%, %var_log_path%\%var_Dateiname%_%var_Datetoday%.log

New command FileGet/Set or FileGetProperties to retrieve and set things from a file's property sheet (title, author, permissions, etc.)

I'm not sure but probabily this soon to come feature might retrieve date-specific data so things can be done like you said.

Set the flag in filecopy to 1, overwrite.

strange but I got after a short break:
Code:

FileList =
Loop, %var_ntlogs_Path%\*.log, 1  ;
FileList = %FileList%%A_LoopFileTimeModified%`t%A_LoopFileName%`n
Sort, FileList, ; Sort by date
Loop, parse, FileList, `n
{
   if A_LoopField =  ; Omit the last linefeed (blank item) at the end of the list.
      continue
   StringSplit, var_FileItem, A_LoopField, %A_Tab%  ; Split into two parts at the tab char.
}
filecopy, %var_ntlogs_Path%\%var_FileItem2%, %var_log_path%\%var_Dateiname%_%var_Datetoday%.log

I also want to copy the latest file in a directory to an other directory, and I tried this script.
But I get all the files copied. Whats wrong?

Code:
var_ntlogs_Path = I:\CanoScan\_Q_0106   ; Example folder
FileList =

Loop, %var_ntlogs_Path%\*.*, 1
FileList = %FileList%%A_LoopFileTimeModified%`t%A_LoopFileName%`n
Sort, FileList, R ; Sort by date reverse.

Loop, parse, FileList, `n
{
   if A_LoopField =  ; Omit the last linefeed (blank item) at the end of the list.
      continue
   StringSplit, var_FileItem, A_LoopField, %A_Tab%  ; Split into two parts at the tab char.
}

filecopy, %var_ntlogs_Path%\%var_FileItem%, I:\CanoScan\_DTV\%var_FileItem%


Thank you very much for your help.

A simplier way:
Code:
newestTime = 19000101000000
newestFile =
Loop E:\Archives\*
{
   If (A_LoopFileTimeModified > newestTime)
   {
      newestTime := A_LoopFileTimeModified
      newestFile := A_LoopFileLongPath
   }
}
MsgBox %newestTime% -> %newestFile%
Put the right path, replace the MsgBox by the right FileCopy, and it should (may) work.
