Hello,
I have a folder which contains many sdf files with different "last modified date" and file names. In my FME script, i'm only interested to READ the latest sdf file (1 file). May I ask how to select that file?
thank you.

You can use a Directory and Filepathnames reader. Then sort the data on path_modified_date.
Then use the Sampler to get the latest modification.

Update: figured out a way:
Both AttributeCreators create an attribute called _join_id with a value of 1 so the date modified will be merged with the Summary feature from the StatisticsCalculator (thanks to https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/5293/how-to-count-the-number-of-features-with-the-same.html).
Cloner uses the Total Count from StatisticsCalculator to create the required number of copies.
