List of most recently updated org files in the project

List of most recently updated org files in the project

[Vikas Rawal]

I have a website (http://www.indianstatistics.org) published using
orgmode. I have just migrated it to the new exporter. I would like to
have a headline on the main page that lists (with links to) five most
recently changed files. All org-files have a #+DATE field in the
header which I update everytime I make changes on any page.

I have been thinking of an org-babel source block that will produce
the list of files, but have not been able to implement it. Will be
grateful for any suggestions?

Sorry, this was silly. Just needed a tiny bash script to throw org
syntax. The code below lists five most recently updated files.

#+begin_src sh :results raw :exports results
for filename in $(find -iname \*.org -type f -printf '%T@ %p\n' | sort
-n | tail -5 | cut -f2- -d" ")
do
   title=$(grep ^* $filename | head -n1 | cut -f2- -d" ")
   echo "*** [[file:$filename][$title]]" | head -5
done
#+end_src
