Thread: off-topic - list files on linux

Hi people,

just a rapid question related to linux
How can I get the files in a directory, but not the
last file updated/created?

I could get the last file updated with:
ls -t1p  | grep -v / | grep -v backup | head -1

How can I get the inverse list, other files without
the last??

Thank you in advance.

maybe:
ls -t1p | grep -v / | grep -v backup | grep -v `ls -t1p | grep -v / | grep -v backup | head -1`

1) the -e flag for grep can be used to group strings so you don't have
to pipe multiple times (eg: grep -i -e bleh -e bleh2 -e bleh3 -ve backup)

2) wouldn't find be easier to use? find . -maxdepth 1 -type -f -print

ls -t1p | grep -v / | grep -v backup | tac | tail -n +2

I tried to give an example, using *only* primitives that already existed in the original question.
