Need to read the last 4 lines (txt) of a very large log file 100M bytes, 100k lines or more lots of times - of course I can read through the file in the normal way but this is rather slow. Is there a way to 'read lines from the end'? I note that unix tail or its port to windows does this very fast so guess there must be a fast way to do it in pascal too?
TIA for any ideas John
