This may be one of the methods:
where the test3 is the keyword to extract the line and the <filename> is where the three lines can be found.
Hope that this is helpful.
Thank you.
A simpler method is
where 3 is the line number. This is useful if you know which line to target at, while the grep command will search for all the lines containing the matched pattern(s).
Hope that this is useful.
Cheers.
EDIT:
Just realised that I did not really solve the problem of find and replace "the last occurrence of a match". But hope that my approach can cast a different light on the approaches used to solve your problem.
