Help with Unix File Processing
Hi,
Does anyone know of a Unix command that would give me the most recent file from a list of files with the same names except for the date/time stamp, i.e. kah_en_20070103T2234307Z.zip (with an actual date/time stamp of 1/3/07 4:41 pm), kah_en_20070104T054732Z.zip (with an actual date/time stamp of 1/3/07 11:52 pm), kah_en_20070104T222544Z.zip (with an actual date/time stamp of 1/4/07 4:29 am)?
