Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: how to pick the lastes file using UTL_FILE package ?
Rahul, here is how you'd do it on a Unix box: ls -t|line
ls -t would give you a list of files most recent first, then the line
command would give
you back the first filename only. In 2K the first part of that is DIR
/O:-D, not sure how you
get just the first filename from the list (the latest file will be first),
but you could redirect
that command to a file then read the first filename from the file! (DIR
/O:-D > files)
HTH,
Rich

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
list, the requirement is to use the UTL_FILE package on the server side to
open and process the files as they are created (each hour) in a server's
directory !!
could anyone suggest a logic to pick up the the lastest file created in that
dir. ?
TIA 8.1.6 on win2k
