Full Discussion: AWK pattern matching, first and last

That's much cleaner, and I assume quicker as it's doing a single scan. I can't test this at the moment, but I assume this is addressing the single pass, and the clean, and not the returning of either first or last?
The main problem remaining, is the ability to return the last #M,M# (or nth if possible for future reference), as I want to show just the last modification to a file.

Furthermore, is there any way to contain the searching to within the top section of the file, between the /*H and H## ? as if there are many large files to document, it would make it much quicker.

Thanks for the help so far.
