Yes, my code just show you how to delete any prefix ending in / or to deliver all but the last level of the path name.
Replace the echo command with the java command and pass the file name as argument as in the sample from LKBrwn_DBA

I do not understand your question. Do you want to find the latest file in the directory?.
