  How will you be using the line number later? If you are going to extract or change the line by its line number, then it's better to do so in one go instead of calling two utilities in sequence (getting the line number, then do something with that line).

Try this,

grep -nx "Hello world" fileName

• 
  -n will print the line number


• 
  -x Select only those matches that exactly match the whole line
