I've been googling to find ways of doing this but I'm not finding what I'm looking for. I think this should be fairly easy, so I'm hoping a script guru out there can tell me what I need. I have some files that are all named like: myfile387465893495643658734.txt myfile547647453645635632454.txt myfile563546356243546767546.txt myfile465565634678567345656.txt myfile456674567452345566345.txt I need to find all files that start with 'myfile', end in .txt Then I need to find the most recent version and use it in a command. Can anyone rattle this off of the top of their head?
`ls -t myfile*.txt | head -1` might work for you.
Help is appreciated. Thanks, James
