Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello ,

I started learning shell scripting recently and I was able to use grep and awk command to get a columns or rows with a certain format out of one file and put them in a new one using :

Code:

grep -e "N -t 99.998" xxx.txt > temp1.txt

and

Code:

awk < temp1.txt '{print $5," ",$ 7} '> temp32.txt

and I'm currently looking for a way to delete all generated

raws -except the last one-in two files and put the last line of
each file in a single new file .

is there a command that can do that ??!!!!

If there's can you guide on how to use it if possible or even just tell me what it is ??!!

Thank you

Lina

Code:

tail -1

Than you for answering my question . I use tail to get the last

line of a single file and log it in a new one but can I use the tail

command to log the last line of a multiple files in a single file

??!!! or I should use another method ??!

Thanks again

one method ..

Code:

$ find /your/files/path -type f -exec tail -1 {} \;
