You are correct about the white space problem with @gioele suggestion, but you only need to add a hyphen to the -f option to make it a range to fix that: find $DIR -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort -n | cut -d' ' -f 2- | tail -n 1 Or alternatively, keep all except the first field: find $DIR -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort -n | cut -d' ' -f 1 --complement | tail -n 1
