Read last word of the line.
Hi, I need a script to read last word of the line and out put in some temp file.
i
it can contain any word like:
My name is Harry.
or
My zip code is 24490
or it can be
My secret code is 024H
I just need last word of the line (Harry, or 2440 or 024H)
Thanks for the posts below. commands are working properly. but there is slight modification in requirement.
1. command to get only first word of line.
2. command to get any middle word. like it can be 4th word or 5th. (something that i can change on run time).
Thanks again.

vlatai
vlatai(1L) vlatai(1L)
NAME
vlatai - Lojban word analyzer
SYNOPSIS
vlatai [ -v ] [ word ]
DESCRIPTION
vlatai is a program that reads a list of Lojban words from standard input, one word per line. In its usual mode, it writes a single output
line for each input line, advising of which kind of Lojban word the input line is. If the input word has cmavo prefixed onto it, vlatai
shows the individual cmavo and the base word itself.
In the verbose mode (obtained using -v), the workings of the internal state machines used for scanning the word are exposed. This may give
some insight into where an error lies on words that can't be parsed, especially if the output is used in conjuction with the report files
built during the compilation process.
Note that vlatai is primarily a testbench for the word categorizer/splitter inside jbofihe. vlatai is not fully supported or documented as
a stand-alone program.
OPTIONS
-v Verbose; show lots of information about the evolution of the internal state
word The word to check. If no 'word' argument is supplied, the program reads words from standard input, one word per line (with no
whitespace around it.)
