As a Perl one-liner, from the Unix command line, that would be: `perl -ne '/Baki/ and $x=$_}{print$x' file.txt` [download] or: `perl -ne '/Baki/ and $x=$_; END{print$x}' file.txt` [download] Update: BTW, your shell solution: `cat file.txt \|grep "Baki" \|tail -1` [download] should read: `grep 'Baki' file.txt \|tail -1` [download] Tom Christiansen once wrote long ago on usenet something like "If you find yourself calling cat with just one argument, you're probably doing something silly".
