Thanks for the suggestions.
I made a start now by listing all the files with the extension .log and it works.
since the files are in yyyymmdd.log format, i only want to list the last one - 1. then copy it to another file called logged.log for instance. Could you please help achieve this with the code below?. The code below navigate to the directory and list all files with the extension .log. The printed output is:

20180118.Log
20180117.Log
20180116.Log


So I am interested in the second one: 20180117.Log


import java.util.List;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;


class search
{
public static void main(String[] args) {

    String WILD_CARD = "";
     List <File> fileList = new LinkedList<File>();
       File folder = new File("d:\\");
       File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();
        if(WILD_CARD!=null) {  
            Pattern wildCardPattern = Pattern.compile(".*"+WILD_CARD+"(.*)?.log",Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
            for(File file: listOfFiles) {
                java.util.regex.Matcher match = wildCardPattern.matcher(file.getName());
                while(match.find()){
                    String fileMatch = match.group();
                    if(file.getName().equals(fileMatch))  {
                        fileList.add(file); // doesn't work
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        else
            fileList = new LinkedList<File>( Arrays.asList(folder.listFiles()));

        for (File f: fileList) System.out.println(f.getName());
}

}
