Read the most recent file from Amazon S3

Hi

I have a number of files at S3 location.

How can I read the most recent file from s3 using the Amazon S3 Download tool.

Hi @MKanchwa ,

the short answer is, you can't. Not with the S3 tool as it stands.

However, there is an Alteryx toolkit from Teknion which has an S3 tool which allows "list mode", which acts exactly like the directory tool in Alteryx. This allows you to pull back a list of files and some metadata in the S3 bucket.

One slight problem is I haven't been able to get the toolkit to work on the latest version of Alteryx, which I'm sure they'll iron out in future.

You can download the toolkit HERE.
