Hi all,
I have a quick question about seek(). If I have a file with 100 lines of
data and I want to seek to the last line of the file and read it. How is
this done? Below is what I'm trying to do. A little help please.
File x.pl:
aaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbb
ccccccccc
ddddddddd
eeeeeeeee
open(LOG,"x.pl");
seek(LOG,0,2); # I thought 2 meant the end of the file.
$line=<LOG>;
print"$line":
close(LOG);
