compare logfile content
Hi folks

I have some logfiles like this:

./2009_08_22_14_08_entire_backup_no_1.log
.
.
.
./2009_08_22_14_34_entire_backup_no_14.log

each one contains a timestamp from "date +'%s'"

now i need function which finds the logfile with the greatest number in it and returns (echos) the filename.

how can this be done?

I know this is not it..but a start..

Code:
function find_most_recent_entire_backup(){
    # read the logfile of the most recent entire_backup and 
    for f in `find ./ -type f -regex ".*entire.*.log" `; do
        timestamp=`grep [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0] $f`
        echo $timestamp
    done
}


thank you already
