Can that be used if the file name itself is different?

The rules are these:
-if the folder is empty, continue (this means a new doc is being created)
-if the folder has 1 file in it, copy it out. I don't have a begin date.
-if the folder has multiple files, copy out the one that was last saved.
-if the folder is labeled "Archived" - skip that folder & its sub-folders.
There is no consistency in the naming of the files. There are current files that have a timestamp appended to the end of the filename, most do not. That is something that is more recent.
I could manually pull a copy of the current files {kringing}, then weekly use Windows search to generate a list of new file names to pull with Powershell? I would have to manually remove the old ones.
But would that be easier to figure out? Thank you SOOO much for taking a look at this :-)
