Sunnycoder one more point if you could reply,<br />
<br />
How to insert the current date format in between a filename?<br />
<br />
What I am trying is,<br />
<br />
Date=`date '+%Y%m%d'`<br />
File=`ls -lrt | tail -1 | awk '{print $9}'`<br />
mv $File $HOME/abc/NewFile_$Date_up<wbr />date.dat<br />
<br />
<br />
But it's failing ... any clues ...

Hi,<br />
<br />
can any one help me out with this one,<br />
<br />
After typing in &quot;ls -lrt&quot;, from the displayed contents, (i.e.)<br />
<br />
Unix$&gt;ls -lrt<br />
-rw-r--r-- &nbsp; 1 user1 &nbsp;group &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2 Apr 12 15:06 123.dat<br />
-rw-r--r-- &nbsp; 1 user1 &nbsp;group &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2 Apr 12 15:07 234.dat<br />
-rw-r--r-- &nbsp; 1 user1 &nbsp;group &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2 Apr 12 15:08 345.dat<br />
-rw-r--r-- &nbsp; 1 user1 &nbsp;group &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2 Apr 12 15:09 456.dat<br />
<br />
I would like to read the latest updated file name, as here that would be &quot;456.dat&quot;, using a shell script.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Reading a field from the last line, after ls -lrt

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.
