How to pick up a file that has been created latest ?

Sudharshana · 02-20-2013, 02:14 AM

I have a list of files in my directory with the extension *.ksh.ATC.cs . I need to get the last created file of these and copy it to a different location. How can I do this?

Try with:

Code:

cp `ls -ltr *.ksh.ATC.cs | tail -1 | awk '{print $9}'` /yournewfolder

Note: creation time is not stored, if last modification time is okay, use 'ls -1tr | tail -n1'
