In tip 8250, LINEX can return the last line of a file using:
LINEX -t 1 <FileName OR for /f "TOKENS=*" %%a in ('LINEX -t 1 ^<FileName') do ( set Line=%%a )To return the last line of a file, using standard commands, I have scripted LastLine.bat.
The syntax for using LastLine.bat is:
for /f "TOKENS=*" %%a in ('lastline FileName') do ( set Line=%%a ) OR for /f "Tokens=1* Delims=:" %%a in ('lastline FileName^|Findstr /l /n /v /c:"*$"') do ( set Line=%%b )NOTE: See How do I remove the last N lines of a file?
LastLine.bat contains:
@echo off if \{%1\}==\{\} @echo Syntax: LastLine FileName&goto :EOF if not exist %1 echo LastLine: File %1 not found.&goto :EOF setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION for /f "delims=" %%L in ('find /C /V "" <%1') do ( set /A offset=%%L -1 more +!offset! <%1 ) endlocal
