Thanks a lot .. This loop worked after I initialized the OLDKEY variable.
But I am still not clear how the code is working and getting the result. I believe I understood the part where you are storing the key value in to $KEY on a -r result .. But not clear how the latest file is picked based on the seconds in the file.
It will be of great help if you can explain how the code is working.
Thank you
