If its the data in the len lines then you can just find it with a
regex and the last find will be the one you get.
while (<FILE>){
if (/regex/){
$var = $_;
}
}
print $var . "\n";
The value of $var will change at each hit, but if you only want the
last one then thats what will be in var at the print
