We do not speak gobbledygook. Please explain with a better example and more explanation.
Generally, the only way to read the last item of a text file is to read the entire file.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

okay, then you do this:
(1) open the file using "fopen".
(2) use a while loop to read each line into a string buffer using "fgets" until a NULL is returned.
(3) when fgets returns a NULL, it means there are no more lines. the last line read will still be in your string buffer.
"fopen" and "fgets" are widely-used commands from the <stdio.h> standard library. you will find tons of examples on the various online references. here is a good one: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/c...dio/fgets.html
