I have two folders A and B, inside that there are two files each. which are created in the below order
mkdir A
cd A
touch a_1
touch a_2
cd ..
mkdir B
cd B
touch b_1
touch b_2
cd ..
From the above i need to find which folder was created first(not modified).
ls -c <path_to_root_before_A_and_B> | tail -1
Now this outputs as "A" (no issues here). Now i delete the file a_1 inside the Directory A. Now i again execute the command
ls -c <path_to_root_before_A_and_B> | tail -1
This time it shows "B".
But the directory A contains the file a_2, but the ls
command shows as "B". how to overcome this
