Using the filenames as the ONLY time reference:
Using file mtimes (last time written to, the default for ls -l )
The inode time ls -c abcd* is another internal time kept. This is almost always the file creation time. File creation time (birth time) is not universal, older UNIXes filesystems do not support it.
Since your question vague this is about the best we can do for you. We need your shell and your OS (uname -a shows this) to do better.

I was wondering if there was a command to move files from one directory to another subdirectory based on the timestamp, i.e. moving from directory A files that have a timestamp of before the year 2005 into directory B. Directory B is a subdirectory located in directory A. I was advised to... (4 Replies)

we want to fetch the latest file in a given directory and also the file name should match the below pattern
Example file name ->hrdata-2015-10-13-16-45-26.xml(2015-10-13-16-45-26- it is not current timestamp, we just need to check for the pattern)
We expect the file will have the... (3 Replies)

io::async::timer::absolute
IO::Async::Timer::Absolute(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Async::Timer::Absolute(3pm)NAME
"IO::Async::Timer::Absolute" - event callback at a fixed future time
SYNOPSIS
use IO::Async::Timer::Absolute;
use POSIX qw( mktime );
use IO::Async::Loop;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
my @time = gmtime;
my $timer = IO::Async::Timer::Absolute->new(
time => mktime( 0, 0, 0, $time[4]+1, $time[5], $time[6] ),
on_expire => sub {
print "It's midnight
";
$loop->stop;
},
);
$loop->add( $timer );
$loop->run;
DESCRIPTION
This subclass of IO::Async::Timer implements one-shot events at a fixed time in the future. The object waits for a given timestamp, and
invokes its callback at that point in the future.
For a "Timer" object that waits for a delay relative to the time it is started, see instead IO::Async::Timer::Countdown.
EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters:
on_expire
Invoked when the timer expires.
PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":
on_expire => CODE
CODE reference for the "on_expire" event.
time => NUM
The epoch time at which the timer will expire.
Once constructed, the timer object will need to be added to the "Loop" before it will work.
Unlike other timers, it does not make sense to "start" this object, because its expiry time is absolute, and not relative to the time it is
started.
