In lieu of processing/reading the file in reverse..

I don't think grep alone will provide the solution, but using a single external utility try
Code:
awk '/blabla/ {LAST=$0} END {print LAST}'
or grep plus an additional external utility solution
Code:
grep "blabla" | tail -n 1

Thank you, this working fine. Tested awk couldn't get that working.

Works for me...
Code:
echo Blabla         >awktest.txt
echo Blabla_second >>awktest.txt
Code:
grep Blabla awktest.txt

Blabla
Blabla_second
Code:
awk '/Blabla/ {LAST=$0} END {print LAST}' awktest.txt

Blabla_second
even this manky code works...
Code:
cat awktest.txt | awk '/Blabla/ {LAST=$0} END {print LAST}'

Blabla_second
 
Works for me...
Code:
echo Blabla         >awktest.txt
echo Blabla_second >>awktest.txt
Code:
grep Blabla awktest.txt
Blabla
Blabla_second
Code:
awk '/Blabla/ {LAST=$0} END {print LAST}' awktest.txt
Blabla_second
even this manky code works...
Code:
cat awktest.txt | awk '/Blabla/ {LAST=$0} END {print LAST}'
Blabla_second

Okay thanks
I get "awk" working also. Whis is preferred programming wise?
Code:
awk '/VERIFY OK: depth=0/ {LAST=$0} END {print LAST}' /tmp/vpnclient-1.log | cut -d ',' -f2 | cut -d "=" -f2
