script need for the data

[jack Hu_1]

Dear Admins:
I have a data file ( collect disk data from glance).
It will show me two times of the disk report.
But I only want the last one.( different from the time )
And also want the whole line of the bigger two value of the record from the unti field.

Can someone give me some suggestion ?
thanks
Jack Hu

Hi

nl -ba file|grep "\-\-\-"|tail -n 1|cut -c1-6|
while read a rest
do
tail +$a file
done

Will give the second one

Started to answer this question, saw Steve's 2nd answer, liked it and decided to sit on the fence. Best decision I ever made and if it doesn't work, blame Steve. :p
