Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Need help with UNIX command to get the latest file from list of files with timestamp Post 303032134 by jim mcnamara on Tuesday 12th of March 2019 11:20:27 AM

Using the filenames as the ONLY time reference:
Code:
newest=$( ls abcd*|  sort -n -k2 -t '.' | tail -1 )

Using file mtimes (last time written to, the default for ls -l )
Code:
newest=$( ls -rt '.' | tail -1 )

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.
