Dear list,
I am trying to do some grep searching which can find out the pattern
BUT the very first occurrence from the last ( strange no : |) )
Ok, here is an example.
---- myfile -------
some text
name = 1st name
name = 2nd name
name = 3rd name
some text
--------------------------
What I am doing presently is
grep -w "name" myfile and getting *name = 1st name*
And I need the last one ( first from the end ) which is *name = 3rd
name*. IS it possible to use grep in this very scenario ?
piping through *sort* is not helpful here
Thanks
