    Hi,

    I want to identify the number of the line of the last occurance of the
    string "End of Report" within a file.

    #> more somefile
    line1
    line2
    End of Report
    line4
    End of Report
    line6
    End of Report
    #>

    #> #!/bin/ksh
    #> grep -in "End of Report" somefile | awk -F: '{print $1}'

    results in

    3 5 7

    Is there a way to capture the last value (7), when you don't know how many
    occurance? I have gnugrep loaded if that is a better command.
