0 down vote favorite I am trying to get a file from a given URL. Link to the URL

Basically, what I am looking for is the file with the latest version ending with ...complete.mar

In this case, it will be firefox-40.0.2.complete.mar

I would like to get a path of this file so I can use it somewhere. Cannot hard code the path because file name would change when Firefox updates to a new version.

OR------- I don't if it would work. ...complete.mar also seems to be the last file in the directory. Not sure if it's always the case.

If that's the case, how can I grab the path of the last file in that directory?

That would be a link to the CDN server for the latest Firefox version.

Yea, I know the link. Since, push of Firefox updates will change the fire name.

I am looking to find a way to find the latest name progamtically so I don't have to manually write the file name every time. Instead, the script will automatically look for the latest file, and run the update.

I assume that you would have the check the latest version on the 'all' versions page and use that information to generate the correct link.
