windows - How do I make a batchscript that displays only the last line of a textfile? -
this might have been answered before couldn't find on topic. im trying make chat messenger in batch , need display last line of textfile. here's tried (not elegant):
@echo off /f %%x in (address.txt) set address=%%x :a if not exist "%address%" goto goto b :b set skipcount=1 :c /f "skip=%skipcount%" %%m in (%address%) echo %%m set m1=%%m :d /f %%m in (%address%) echo %%m > nul if not %%m==%m1% set skipcount=%skipcount%+1 goto d goto c
this might work think full of mistakes example syntax errors^^ trying few hints wrong:)
here's pure batch utility (requires no external tools) can shows range of numbered lines
to show last line use this:
call tailhead.bat -file=address.txt -end=1
