Thanks matrixmadhan for your immediate respone.
but i am getting the file size as
2580 111
i.e, both of the file sizes seperated by space.
Note: I have 2 files with name some_ under sample dir, whose file sizes are 2580 and 111.
i need only the last updated file size only.
i.e like 2580 (or) 111
Thanks,
eswar
