    Grep last pattern output

    As this thread has been closed for some obscure reason, I'll just have to start a new one to post a slight improvement on using sed to print the last occurrence of a pattern in a file:

    Code:
    sed -n '/pattern/x; ${x;p;}' file

    If the OP from the previous thread was also wondering how to match the first pattern.

    You can do
    Code:
    grep 'pattern' file | head -1
    Could come in handy, it just did for me.
