Hello,

If you are inside the directory and looking for *.log files no need to use grep, then use:

Code:
ls -lrt *.sh | awk '{print $NF}'

if you dont where you are and want to search for all *.log files from the scratch in your home directory, use:

Code:
find . -name *.log| sort +6nr | more

if you want only file names use:

Code:
find . -name *.log| sort +6nr| awk -F"/" '{print $NF}'
