'ls' and 'tail'

hey i have written the following code can any of u assure me that it works perfect

# !/bin/bash
echo -n "Enter Your Folder With Full Path : "
read path
cd $path
ls -c -lt | more
tail -1 *.*

Did you test it?

Just from a quick look I can tell you that unless $User inputs an absolute path or whatever your looking for is in your dir it will error out there also I dont think it is a good idea to call that var $path unless what you have posted is pseudo code. Lastly I think the tail command might need tweaking
