@kvantour , I had the same concern. However, the answer from @Stephane_Chazelas uses -printf with \0 at the end of the output - basically making it a formatted -print0. For me, it's a lot easier - or at least more elegant - to put the newest (or oldest) filename into a string using what @Stephane_Chazelas shared rather than using BashFAQ/099. Any comments on this are welcome ... in the chat. (P.S. BashFAQ/099 is a great answer and something that I think everyone should know about, by the way.)

Most answers here parse the output of ls or use find without -print0 which is problematic for handling annoying file-names. Always useful to mention: BashFAQ099 which gives a POSIX answer to this problem
