How to pipe command

alternate way, use awk
here is an alternate way that doesn't depend on a certain length to cut from-to.
It may be easier for you, I know it is for me. Also, you can use this principle in scripting as well.
dtpad `ls -lrt | awk '{ print $NF }' | tail -1`
This captures the last field and also gets rid of and leading or trailing spaces as well.
BTW, the $NF will always pull the last field. This is especially good if you have a line with more than 9 delimited fields, because $0 will print the whole line with the "awk" command.
UNIX is so great, we can do the same things in some many different ways!
UNIX RULESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
