How to get one line from a print output in linux?

I’m trying to pull one line from a subprocess.check_output but so far I have no luck. I’m running a Python script and this is my code:

output = subprocess.check_output("sox /home/pi/OnoSW/data/opsoroassistant/rec.wav -n stat", shell=True)

output = subprocess.check_output("sox /home/pi/OnoSW/data/opsoroassistant/rec.wav -n stat", shell=True)​

and this is what I get back when I run the script:

Now I want to get the 9th line (RMS amplitude) out of this list. I already tried something with sed but it didnt gave anything back:

output = subprocess.check_output("sox /home/pi/OnoSW/data/opsoroassistant/rec.wav -n stat 2>&1 | sed -n 's#^RMS     amplitude:[^0-9]*([0-9.]*)$#1#p0'",stderr= subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True)

JavaScript
 
output = subprocess.check_output("sox /home/pi/OnoSW/data/opsoroassistant/rec.wav -n stat 2>&1 | sed -n 's#^RMS     amplitude:[^0-9]*([0-9.]*)$#1#p0'",stderr= subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True)​

Thank You

Answer

What about grep-ing the line ?

output = subprocess.check_output("sox /home/pi/OnoSW/data/opsoroassistant/rec.wav -n stat 2>&1 | grep 'RMS     amplitude:'",stderr= subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True)

JavaScript
 
output = subprocess.check_output("sox /home/pi/OnoSW/data/opsoroassistant/rec.wav -n stat 2>&1 | grep 'RMS     amplitude:'",stderr= subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True)​
