How to view the last created file?

Question

I downloaded the file to a Linux computer. I do not know his name. So how to view files through their last date attribute?

Answer 1

ls -lat

displays a list of all files sorted by date. When enumerated with the -l flag using the -t flag, sorts by date. If you only need the file name (possibly for a script), try something like:

ls -lat | head -2 | tail -1 | awk '{print $9}'

Here all the files will be listed, as before, get the first 2 lines (the first will look like “only 260”), get the last (the one that shows the details of the file), and then get the 9th column that contains the file name.

Answer 2

find / -ctime -5

Answer 3

Use ls -lUtor ls -lUtras you wish. You can take a look at the team documentation by lstyping man lson the terminal.
