Reading the last line of a text file

Im having problems reading the last line of a text file and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

You can use the .ReadAll() method to put the entire text into a string, then use the split method to put that text into an array.

You would split on the \n or \r characters. I'd do a global replace on the \r (hard return) changing it into a \n (newline) then split on the \n.

Then all you have to do is grab the last element of the array that was created with the split method.

monksnake,

technically you'd want to do a trim before splitting, using a regex. otherwise your last line may be a blank string.

just throwing it out there as another point to take away.

Heh, well it still would be the last line.
