what kind of "file"? tail -n 10 filename makes output of last 10 lines of a file. But if there are no linefeeds/ carriage return in the files, the it makes no sense. tac filename > filename_taced turns around a file, the end becomes the beginning. head -n 10 filename_taced | tac prints out the last 10 lines of filename, maybe faster with huge files. If you want to give out last 100 chars: tac filename | cut -c 1-100 | tac maybe cut counting starts with zero (cut -c 0-99) Ekkard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
