Hi Monks , I am trying to grep with the latest directory that maches my string. for example when I do :
ls -lrt drwxrwxrwx 2 do ba 96 Feb 10 04:59 PC_03021001_MDS_RF +_job drwxrwxrwx 2 do ba 96 Feb 10 05:02 PC_0011814_AVE_RF_ +1.5 drwxrwxrwx 2 do ba 96 Feb 10 05:12 US_03029_AVE_RF_42 +3.5 drwxrwxrwx 2 do ba 96 Feb 10 05:24 AT_030_DAE_RF_4
I am trying to chdir to the latest dir with the word PC in the front . so it should be PC_0011814_AVE_RF_1.5 so how can I get to that LATEST directory with only knowing part of the directory name :
chdir "/diro/col/PC*" or die" can't change";
thanks for help .. let me know if the question is not clear. thanks again
