get last field using awk linux

To see the result of an evaluation at every experiment, it is common to access a last modified directory.

I used to do 'ls -altr' , copy the last field in last line with my mouse dragging and then paste something like "cd <pasted directory name>" 

$NF within AWK program refers to the number of fields of the current record, thus printing $NF means the last field in the record.

By using this

$ function cdl(){

        cd `ls -altr|grep -i ^d|awk '{print $NF}'|grep -i '^[[:alpha:]]'|tail -n 1`

}

then i can access the last modified directory with 'cdl' command.
