Is there a document in perldoc that tells the best way to get the last line of a file? Below is my usual code for reading a file.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w $file = qq(/some/file/); open FILE, "$file" or die "Cannot open file: $!\n"; while(<FILE>) { do something with the line; } close(FILE); What I want to do is read just the last line. Might help in the case of a password file or something like that. Thanks! -James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
