How to fetch a number ending with a specific digit in linux

Question

I have a file somewhat like :
Hello, World!
Name Age Place
Abc 26 CO
Def 27 CA
Ghi 45 MH
Jkl 32 SD

How to find the line in which Age ends with 2?
Output I am expecting is - Jkl 32 SD

Answer 1

You should be able to do this with GREP utility, using the -n option, which will prefix each line of output with the line number of the input file.

If this is your input file:

Hello, World!
Name Age Place
Abc 26 CO
Def 27 CA
Ghi 45 MH
Jkl 32 SD

Then:

$ grep -n "2 " inputFile.text
6: Jkl 32 SD

Here you can see that the pattern you are looking for can be found on line 6.
