Selecting only newest file
Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me out. I am trying to figure out how to search for the newest file in a directory and save it as a variable. For example, if you do a 'ls -ltr', the last file listed would be the newest file. Does anyone know how to save just that file name in a variable? Thanks, Krypto
