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
