code to find the latest file in a folder and export it to a sql server table

Zone: MS SQL Server

Tags: sql, ie 7

Hi Experts,

I have to find the latest file in a folder and export data to a table in sql server.
The code should be something that has to be incorporated into a t-sql stored procedure.

The file name would for example abc_defYYYYMMDD.xls.
would i be able to find the latest file in the folder using the the datestamp (YYYYMMDD) in the filename.

Please note i would have files in other format and names with datestamp attached to it, so the code has to pick specific file for which the file name starts with 'abc_def'

and export data to a table.

Any help would be highly appreciated
