Copy latest file to new directory in QSH

[dhanuxp]

Hi

I can find latest file from below command

ls -rt ZFIDOCD_* | tail -1

I need to rename it and copy it to new directory
What I did was

cp 'ls -rt ZFIDOCD_* | tail -1' /d800/prd/ZTEST.CSV

Below is the error

cp: 001-2113 Error found getting information for object ls -rt ZFIDOCD_* | ta
il -1. No such path or directory.

Is this possible in QSH ?

Thanks

You're close. You need to use command substitution. Surround the command with $( and ). (There's another syntax, where you use backquotes, but I prefer this syntax.)



cp $(ls -rt ZFIDOCD_* | tail -1) /d800/prd/ZTEST.CSV

That is It!!
Thanks Ted.
