Yep it works! I understand now it iterates on each line and replaces the old
elements with the new ones. In the end you get the latest date of the last
line of log.
I will work on the exception handling and other refinements. Thanks.

In an earlier example, you already had a for loop on the log_file so the
last line would still be in the variable "line". If you put the date
logic right after the loop, there'd be nothing wrong with using the last
line that way. Beats going back through the file and repeating it all
again.
