Hi guys Fantastic - thanks for the response I went with heenans suggestion - cause he was the first to reply Many thanks Darren -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Darren D Sent: Tuesday, 2 December 2008 9:25 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] A2003:Read the last line of a text file Hi Team We have an external tool that 'does stuff' - And the results of the stuff it does can be output to a text file. Cool So I can call this tool with my access app and pass all the necessary parameter to make this thing work. The log and results etc are written to a text file and the bit I need is on the last line of that text file - Success/Failure or otherwise Does anyone have code to read the last line of a text file - the text file grows and shrinks so a fixed position read won't work. I do have an example (that use predictions about the line length etc) that works about 50 percent of the time - It needs to work all the time Many thanks in advance DD -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
