Question

How can you find the most recently modified folder (NOT A FILE) in a directory using Ruby?

Answer 1

Dir.glob("a_directory/*/").max_by {|f| File.mtime(f)}

Dir.glob("a_directory/*/") returns all the directory names in a_directory (as strings) and max_by returns the name of the directory for which File.mtime returns the greatest (i.e. most recent) date.
