Thread: Grep Last Pattern Output

Hi

Is there any way with grep to show me only the last pattern that matches and not all ? For example for a file with

linux 56
slackware 32
debian 34
linux 2
redhat 9

and $> grep linux filename

show me only --> linux 2
and not

linux 56
linux 2

Thanks

grep foo filename | tail -1
