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...

NAME
getdev - lists devices based on criteria SYNOPSIS
getdev [-ae] [criteria...] [device...] DESCRIPTION
getdev generates a list of devices that match certain criteria. The criteria includes a list of attributes (given in expressions) and a list of devices. If no criteria are given, all devices are included in the list. Devices must satisfy at least one of the criteria in the list unless the -a option is used. Then, only those devices which match all of the criteria in a list will be included. Devices which are defined on the command line and which match the criteria are included in the generated list. However, if the -e option is used, the list becomes a set of devices to be excluded from the list. See OPTIONS and OPERANDS. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a Specifies that a device must match all criteria to be included in the list generated by this command. The option has no effect if no criteria are defined. -e Specifies that the list of devices which follows on the command line should be excluded from the list generated by this command. Without the -e the named devices are included in the generated list. The flag has no effect if no devices are defined. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: criteria Defines the criteria that a device must match to be included in the generated list. criteria is specified by expressions. There are four possible expression types which the criteria specified in the criteria argument may follow: attribute=value Selects all devices whose attribute attribute is defined and is equal to value. attribute!=value Selects all devices whose attribute attribute is defined and does not equal value. attribute:* Selects all devices which have the attribute attribute defined. attribute!:* Selects all devices which do not have the attribute attribute defined. See the putdev(1M) manual page for a complete listing and description of available attributes. device Defines the devices which should be included in the generated list. This can be the pathname of the device or the device alias. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. 1 Command syntax was incorrect, invalid option was used, or an internal error occurred. 2 Device table could not be opened for reading. FILES
/etc/device.tab ATTRIBUTES
