This is really frustrating, none of the above methods seem to work.

I tried ahamed101's three suggestions with the following result

Code:
cmd=`matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nojvm -r "nc;quit" | awk -F"[ =]" '{print $NF}'`
echo $cmd
screen. > Inc. (glnxa64) 2010 demo. www.mathworks.com. 226

Code:
cmd=`matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nojvm -r "nc;quit" | sed 's/.*= \([0-9]*\)$/\1/g'`
echo $cmd

Try this...
Code:
cmd=`matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nojvm -r "nc;quit" | awk -F"[ =]" '/ans =/{print $NF}'`

Looks like it is on multiple lines

If the matlab output is on multiple lines, then I think you should separate the assignment from the splitting.
That way, the shell will have done its job of stripping off the newlines before you extract the last chunk.

Code:
cmd=`matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nojvm -r "nc;quit"`
cmd=`echo $cmd | awk '{ print $NF }'`
echo $cmd

I've made some progress. tyler_durden's seems to work, but not with $NF. If I had $NF it still gives a blank line, but I manually tried different field numbers and found it was 43. So it now looks like,
Code:
cmd=`matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nojvm -r "nc;quit"
cmd=`echo $cmd | awk '{print $43}'`
echo $cmd
226

This isn't obviously ideal as it may not always be 43. I guess the problem is I don't know exactly what the output from matlab is like.

Can you post output of:
Code:
matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nojvm -r "nc;quit" | cat -eT

This is the output.

Code:

Nice mess Smilie. Try this:
Code:
cmd=`matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -nojvm -r "nc;quit"  | cat -eT | perl -ln0e '/(\d+)\$\s+$/;print $1'`
