I need a little help, trying to search for a line that begins with /dev and ends with a single digit that I will choose, like 5. I can search for ^/dev and 5$ but I am having trouble forming the combined search pattern using egrep.

If you mean any single digit not preceded by another digit:

^/dev.*[^0-9][0-9]$
