making a list matching certain criteria in bash...
Hello everyone!I am trying to make a mail list(a simple .txt file)in which i put certain records that match specific criteria.
Let's say that i have a(sorted by last column file)like this one:

0100567 Bla1 Lala1 100
1234567 Bla2 Lala2 80
8769029 Bla3 Lala3 70
1001007 Bla4 Lala4 10

What i need to do is to redirect the whole first line in the mail list file.If I had another record with '100' in the 4th column,that should enter the mail list too...So you understand that records that enter that mail list are only those who have the highest number in the 4th column(not every time '100',only in this example).
There is no way(and no need) to know the numbers in that last column,the only thing i know is that they are sorted from high to low.


//Nevermind solved it

//if anyone answers this,please tell me how i can send mail from that list...

odffilesearch

ODFFILESEARCH(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 ODFFILESEARCH(1p)

NAME

	       odffilesearch - File selection by keywords

SYNOPSIS

	       odffilesearch -R "D:Documents*.odt" openoffice desktop XML

	       produces the list of the ODF Text documents present in the given
	       directory and its subdirectories, and containing the words
	       "openoffice", "desktop" AND "XML"

	       odffilesearch -command "rm -f %f" "*.ods *.odt" lost dismiss cancel

	       executes the "rm -f filename" (i.e. deletes the file in a Unix system)
	       for each ODT or ODS file present in the current directory
	       and containing the words "lost", "dismiss" AND "cancel"

USAGE

	       odffilesearch [-options] <file filter> <keyword list>

DESCRIPTION

	       This utility allows the user to retrieve a list of files matching
	       a given set of keywords or regular expressions. A file is selected
	       when it contains, in its text and/or in its metadata (title, subject,
	       keywords or description), all the given search strings.

	       The selected files are echoed to the standard output (one file per
	       line), so this utility can be used as a filter piping its results
	       to another program. Alternatively, a given shell command can be
	       launched by the script each time a file matches, allowing on-the-fly
	       processing of the selected documents.

	       The files filter may content one or more space-separated paths.
	       Each path may content jokers. So it's possible to explore several
	       directories and/or several filename patterns.

	       All the arguments after the file filter are processed as search
	       criteria.

OPTIONS

	       -R -recursive
		       include the subdirectories of each given search directory
	       -verbose -trace -debug
		       echo some processing comments
	       -warnings
		       activate the warning messages of the OpenOffice::OODoc API
	       -log <file>
		       like -verbose, but then messages are sent to the given file
		       and don't pollute the standard output
	       -result <file>
	       -output <file>
		       send the list of matching files to the given file and not
		       to the standard output
	       -criteria <file>
		       get search criteria from a file (one per line); the loaded
		       search keywords may be combined with additional criteria
		       passed with the command line, if any.
	       -command <command> -exec <command>
		       execute a shell command for each matching file ; if the
		       command string contains "%f", this substring is replaced
		       with the name of the selected file ; if this option is
		       provided, the selection list is not echoed to the standard
		       output ; if -verbose is on, the value returned by the
		       command is echoed
	       -encoding <encoding>
		       selects the user's character set ; this option is mandatory
		       if one or more search criteria contain characters not
		       belonging to the default character set
