Shell Programming and Scripting

From below mentioned line,i have to display output as last word only ie:arch_1_105366_720809746.dbf

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 98887680 02 Mar 12:01 arch_1_105366_720809746.dbf
Please ..

If filename contain no space then use below code

Code:

echo '-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 98887680 02 Mar 12:01 arch_1_105366_720809746.dbf' | awk '{print $NF}'

why don't you try "ls |grep **" then you don't have to do this..

and if you have to do so .

you can try "*** | awk '{print $9}'"

my actual requirement is...suppose a folder contains 10 files..each like
SO if i put ls -ltr,it will display like this

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 98887680 02 Mar 12:01 arch_1_105366_720809746.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba ---------------------- arch_1_1-----------------.dbf
----------------------------------------------------

instead of that ,put one command which displays the last word only...

You can use the field number as well. In this case there are total 9 fields separated by space.

This would give you the 9th ( last) field. Try using the commands below :

and so on & see what you get.

Alternatively , you can use CUT command as well.

( All the chaaracters starting from 47th index. )

If you want to display only last word/file then try the below commands suggested earlier instead of ls -ltr

Code:

ls 
ls -1 # 1 is numeric one
