wow, thanks, I was just thinking how I would open the last 10 lines of my 150Mb log file without putting all of them into a buffer and swapping lines

It's a splendid idea indeed! Shouldn't be too hard to do either. Subscribe to the RSS, I'll make sure to publish it once I have a spare hour.

Extremely useful in for the small project I work on. However, if you could update it to use Ajax for example to constantly update the info without reloading the page would be magic. I have searched this on the web for a few hours and tried a few scripts but nothing really works.
Maybe I’ll start from this script to make the update myself….. although I am not an programmer.

Thanks,

Absolutely. You are welcome to modify as Fjor has already quite rightly done it.

You may want to check if the file exists before you try to read it.

Thank you very much. I modified slightly the code for letting the user change the number of lines using a GET variable.
