Print the last line of a file, from the CLI

Question

How to print just the last line of a file?

Answer 1

You can achieve this using sed as well. However, I personally recommend using tail or awk.

Anyway, if you wish to do by sed, here are two ways:

Method 1:

sed '$!d' filename

Method2:

sed -n '$p' filename

Here, filename is the name of the file that has data to be analysed.
