| Describe BashFAQ/099 here. <<Anchor(faq99)>> == How can I get the newest file from a directory? == Parsing the output of 'ls' is a bad practice, you should create a loop and compare the timestamps: {{{ saved_ts=0 for f in *; do f_ts=$(stat --format=%Y "$f") if ((f_ts > newest_ts)); then newest_ts=$f_ts newest_f=$f fi done }}} there you'll have the newest file at $newest_f, notice that when a file changes also changes its timestamp so this will get the last created or modified file in the directory. |
