How to capture only last match in Regex

I have the string below (including line breaks) that is returned from a TFS 'Labels' command. I need to match against only the last build number (build.2).

How do I build a regex expression to do this? 

Label                                                  Owner          Date

You might try something like this. It works because ordinarily the wildcard character . does not match a newline:

(build.\d).*$

See Regex 101 Demo here for example and full explanation.

build\.\d+(?![\s\S]*\bbuild\.\d+)

Try this.See demo.The lookahead will make sure there is no build ahead.
