Get the last 4 characters of output from standard out

Question

I have a script that is running and uses

lspci -s 0a.00.1 

This returns

0a.00.1 usb controller some text device 4dc9
         


        

Answer 1

Try using grep:

lspci -s 0a.00.1 | grep -o ....$

This will print last 4 characters of every line.

However if you'd like to have last 4 characters of the whole output, use tail -c4 instead.
