You've got several replies but I wanted to point out that you may run into
trouble with some file names. I suggest the following:

   md5 -s filename | tail -1 | awk '{print $NF}'

tail -1 only gives you the last line - in case the file name contains \n.
awk '{print $NF}' gives you the last word on that line - if the file name
contains spaces it may not be word number 4.
