    Print only one line of a file / output.

    I need to do what the title states.

    For example, entering

    Code:
    nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 | grep 'Nmap scan report'
    returns

    Code:
    Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.1
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.8
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.4
    How can I get it to only output say...line 2? I assume some sort of awk line?
