get the last generated log file
Hi
I need to get the last generated file in a directory using ls -ltr. I need to store the output of ls -ltr in a variable.
it will like this
$xyz = -rw-rw-r-- 1 sblp003 siebel 1060 Dec 18 13:33
from this output, I need to do a substring to get this value alone "Dec 18 13:33". Can you guys please help me write a shell script to implement this logic.
I am not too familiar with shell scripting.
Thanks in advance

prn2ps
PRN2PS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation PRN2PS(1)
NAME
prn2ps - PostScript Conversion Utility
PURPOSE
prn2ps converts Windows PostScript to Unix PostScript. The input to this program is typically generated by printing to a PostScript printer
connected to the FILE: logical device. The output can be converted to Encapsulated PostScript using GhostScript's p2epsi program.
USAGE
usage : prn2ps [-h[help]] [-o[out_ext]]
[-l[log_ext]] [-O[out_dir]] prn_file ...
purpose: convert Windows PostScript to Unix PostScript
version: 2.000 (SDF 2.001)
The options are:
Option Description
-h display help on options
-o output file extension
-l log file extension
-O output to input file's (or explicit) directory
DESCRIPTION
The -h option provides help. If it is specified without a parameter, a brief description of each option is displayed. To display the
attributes for an option, specify the option letter as a parameter.
By default, generated output goes to standard output. To direct output to a file per input file, use the -o option to specify an extension
for output files. If the -o option is specified without a parameter, an extension of out is assumed.
Likewise, error messages go to standard error by default. Use the -l option to create a log file per input file. If the -l option is
specified without a parameter, an extension of log is assumed.
By default, generated output and log files are created in the current directory. Use the -O option to specify an explicit output directory.
If the -O option is specified without a parameter, the input file's directory is used.
For each input file, the output is generated by:
o deleting the PageSize information
o deleting the control-D at the end of the file.
EXAMPLES
To generate an Encapsulated PostScript file from Windows PostScript:
prn2ps -ops myfig.prn
ps2epsi myfig.ps
LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
If ps2epsi doesn't like the output, you may need to use another printer driver to generate the input. On Windows NT 4.0, the Canon PS-IPU
Color Laser Copier v52.3 driver works most of the time.
