I'm looking for a way to read the end of a file quickly. I have scripts that generate PostScript files (basically really large text files). I'd like to verify that each PostScript file ends with "%EOF". Rather than read the entire text file into memeory then parsing each line, I'd like to read from the bottom the file and search for the "%EOF" string.
The PostScript file I generate can be hundreds of megs, so I'm looking for a fast solution. I've read about the seek function, but I'm not sure it is what I'm looking for. Any suggestions are appreciated.
