Follow-up to How do I decode a base64 encoded URL from a test email using Katalon

[Dave_Evers]

Hi @kazurayam,
I have now have a folder where I need to select the LAST record in the list, the 3rd one in this example:

1. 11bfe1ce-d122-41dc-8016-f9bd5de24ee1.eml
2. 11bfe1ce-d122-41dc-8016-f9bd5de24ee2.eml
3. 11bfe1ce-d122-41dc-8016-f9bd5de24ee3.eml

How can I change .sorted(Comparator.reverseOrder()) to pick the LAST record in the list?

emlFiles.eachWithIndex  { p, index ->
	println((index + 1) + "\t" + p.getTimestampFormatted() + "\t" + dataDir.relativize(p.get()))

//Opens the 1st eml file and reads contents
String contentOfFirstFile = emlFiles.get(0).get().toFile().text

For those who don’t know the previous discussion, I will note, @Dave_Evers looked at a previous post in this forum:

Sorting text files by DateTime in content

I have made a GitHub project This project was developed to propose a solution that was raised by Dave Evers in the Katalon Community forum at How do I decode a base64 encoded URL from a test email using Katalon - #19 by Dave_Evers Problem to solve One day in the “Katalon Community” forum I was asked a question. The original poster asked as follows: He has several hundreds of text files in a directory. Every file was named with a postfix “.eml”, which stands for “Email message”, like 79e…

I tried your code, but it didn’t even compile with several compilation errors. I couln’t reproduce your problem.

My GitHub repository Dave_Evers_wants_to_sort_files_by_content/Keywords/my at master · kazurayam/Dave_Evers_wants_to_sort_files_by_content · GitHub no longer contains the PathComparableByFilesLastModified class which you are trying to make use of. I don’t remember if I have ever created it, or if yes, why the current repository misses it now . In short, I forgot this issue.

I am no longer interested in this issue. Please find the answer yourself.

Hello @kazurayam,

As always thank you for your feedback and taking your valuable time to look into my issue. I was able to solve my issue using a different method. If you are able, please delete my original post. Or I can delete the post if you are good with that.

Best regards,
Dave
