getting the most recent file
Hi,
I have files coming in every day with that days timestamp like: nameyyyymmddhhmmss.ext. I need the most recent one and so i am using cat `ls -t name*|head -1 ` > temp i am sorting the files in the decending order and am copying the most recent one into a temp file. It works at times but sometimes it does not. Is there a better way to do it? I dont want to compare it to todays absolute date ;I just want the most recent file. any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks |
