How to print last 10 lines from file using awk
- Thread starter Mnaim
- Start date
Hi Mnaim-
You can use this unix command:
tail lnfile # prints last 10 lines by default
tail -30 lnfile # prints last 30 lines
You can also use this short awk script:
awk '
{line[NR] = $0}
END { print "Here are the last 10 lines of file: "FILENAME"\n\n"
i = NR - 9
while ( i <= NR ) {
print line
i++
}
}' lnfile | more
Hope this helps you!
