Try this:

Code:
ls -al | awk '$NF ~ /pattern/ {print $7,$8,$9}' | sort -rM | head -1

Long list of all files in the current directory showing hidden files. Pipe to awk. If the last field (the file names) matches the pattern "pattern", print the 7th, 8th, and 9th field. Then sort by month in reverse order. Head the first thing in the list

Edit: Replace "ls -al" with "ls -al /directory/you/want" to look at files in the directory you want.

Edit 2: Sorry this doesn't quite answer your question. Let me see if I can find out how to take the difference between dates in bash...

A summary of options is included below. -v --verbose Print whole font pattern for each match. -? --help Show summary of options. -V --version Show version of the program and exit. -s --sort Displays sorted list of best matching fonts. font-pattern Displays fonts matching font-pattern (uses empty pattern by default).
