Can you provide a sample of the input and the desired output...
Here it is.
sample input

Long list of all files in the current directory showing hidden files. Pipe to awk. If the last field (the file names) matches the pattern "pattern", print the 7th, 8th, and 9th field. Then sort by month in reverse order. Head the first thing in the list
Edit: Replace "ls -al" with "ls -al /directory/you/want" to look at files in the directory you want.
Edit 2: Sorry this doesn't quite answer your question. Let me see if I can find out how to take the difference between dates in bash...
I think I have a fix for my code above. Try this:
FOLDER is the folder that you want to look in.
FILE is the most recent file matching your pattern: Long list all files in FOLDER and sort by time. Pipe to awk. Print the last field with files that match the pattern "^Test". Pipe to head. Print the first entry.
FILE_TIME is the number of seconds past a universal date that I don't recall.
NOW_TIME is the number of seconds past that date until now.
Then print the difference of the two times divided by 60.
Note that my code might not work properly if no file matches the pattern.
