Regex: trying to retrieve a specific value -- dotnet clr

I wasn't sure if .clr was the best .Net group to post to...

My original posting was in the powershell group. It seems the solution will
require some .Net magic, so I'm posting here.

In the original message below, I have a string, and am trying to match a
specific grouping of "...".

Somebody was kind enough to provide me with the following code for
Powershell:
[regex]::Matches((gc c:\test.txt), "(.*?)") |% { $_.Groups[1].Value }

This results in:

I need a way to output only the last occurence. I assumed I could just run:
[regex]::Matches((gc c:\test.txt), "(.*?)") |% {
$_.Groups[1].Value[11] } <---Thinking "11" might match the last line

The above gives me pretty much nothing. It seems "Value[11]" is interpreted
as "give me the 11th character in *each* line".

Does powershell provide a "tail" command?
