Read file backwards

Anyone have a script that reads a file backwards? Im looking for a way to trace a log file, say the last 30 lines each time I run the script. I havnt found any DOS tools so I guess doing it in PHP will be just as fine, and Im on a Win32 platform. I could however read the entire file, and count the files and show the last lines, but this wouldnt really read it backwards and would work very "foolishly" on large files I would think. If there isnt a way of doing this Ill have to do the above, but you never know. Ill google in the meantime. -- -- Kim Steinhaug ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.webkitpro.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------
