Hi,
I need to read last lines of a BIG (more than 400Mb!) file. It is a log fil=
e.
I wanted to create a small console application similar to "tail"
command in Unix (with such command I can see last lines of a file,
then I can get the most added lines in real-time).
I used "open/lines/direct" but I know the file-size, not how many
lines are inside the file.
My idea is opening a port, then go at the end of file, then go back of
X bytes (or lines), and read them.
But I cannot find a way to go to the end of file ("skip" wants a
Jump-amount... but I don't know such amount of lines).
Can you help me?
Example:
>> file: open/lines/direct %/c/temp/listener81.log.old
>> file: tail file
>> file: skip file -10 ; rows? bytes?
>> print copy file
.....
.....
