sed 1q is faster, as it stops parsing after the first line (the same as
'head
-n 1' does, but in a more portable fashion).

If your sed is GNU, and you are doing this for a small file, the startup
cost of it may dwarf such gain ;-)

Except that I wanted all but the _last_ line though.

I didn't think about using sed. Perhaps I could have used something like

   sed -n -e '$q' -e 'p'

You surely meant "sed -e '$d'", right?

The grep works though.

Indeed.

Your sed-fu is quite impressive.
