0)files example > 'C:/myGeo/myGeo_v001.begeo.sc','C:/myGeo/myGeo_v002.begeo.sc'
1)set default Language = Python
2)Ctrl+E fot multi line script on the parameter slot

import os
thePath = 'C:/myGeo/'
fileList = os.listdir(thePath)

return thePath + max(fileList)

return 'C:/myGeo/myGeo_v002.begeo.sc'

thanks

Better way, ignore folders , files only

"isfile"

import os
thePath = 'C:/myGeo/'
fileList = os.listdir(thePath)
isFileList = []
for f in fileList:
    if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(thePath, f)):
        isFileList.append(f)
fName = (thePath + max(isFileList))
#print fName
return fName
