Hi all,
I'm trying to create a workflow where I look for Finder Items in a complex way. I routinely create files named xyz-<date>, abc-<date>, and def-<date> where <date> is something like 2012-01. These all reside in different folders. I want to be able to collect the latest version of each of these files, combine them into a ZIP file and email them.
I'm using Find Finder Items and want an expression something like this:
(Name begins with xyz and is the latest) or (Name begins with abc and is the latest) or (Name begins with def and is the latest)
Can this be done in Automator? I suppose I could write a hairy "find" CLI command and use that, but that defeats the purpose of Automator. Any tips on how I might do this? Thanks in advance!
Paul
