actually, not sure if it's a string, list, array, or something else. I'm using grep to retrieve all the numbers in a string-- in the console, it displays as multiple lines:
now i want to retrieve just the 3rd number in the list (153 in this case). How?
full disclosure, my source string is actually the output of another command, but wanted to keep the question simple.
btw, If there's a simpler way to retrieve the 3rd number in the original string, plz share. But note that there are embedded line-breaks in my actual source string (with which the above grep method has no problem).

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
