I have number of directories starting with same prefix (say foo123, foo345, foo234, foo456h,..) in a particular directory.
Now I want to find directory with prefix foo which is created(modified) most recently. What would be best way to do this job?
very similar to the others
ls -ltrd foo* | tail -1 | awk '{print $8}'or if you want the list do it without
awk,awkis just returning the name
