│ ├── a12
│ └── a13
├── a2
│ ├── a21
│ ├── a22
│ └── a23

How do I find & zip the last subdirectory in specific directories?
- The directory starts with 'b' (ex) 'b1', 'b2'
- Find the last subdirectory and zip it (ex) 'b14', 'b22'
I want something like:
FILES=./b*
for f in $FILES;
do
FILELIST=ls ./$f;
LASTFOLDER = "FIND THE LAST SUBDIRECTORY";
tar zcvf LASTFOLDER.tar.gz ./$f/LASTFOLDER/;
done
The output has to be:
./b1/b14.tar.gz
./b2/b22.tar.gz
CodePudding user response:
Pipe to tail -1
to get the last line.
lastfolder=$(ls ./$f | tail -1)
