Help with fileRead.

[Feche1320]

Hey all, so, how can I to to read the last 100 - 150 lines of a log file? (Not the MTA log file, I have a separate archive)

Thanks.

you will have to read all file, then find last 150 "\n" chars.

[Feche1320]

Mhh.. how?

I don't understand you.

[karlis]

read tru all the file, and save every ~60000 bytes as string, then split the string with separator "\n"(theres some func for it), put the values in table, and then get last 150 table values.

Yep, thanks.

Another question, how can I delete a entire line on an archive and then write on it?

You basically can't, that isn't how files work, at least not without rewriting the entire file.

Theoretically it's easy to truncate a file, though it doesn't appear that MTA provides access to the relevant functions to do so.

[Feche1320]

I was asking becouse I am a SAMP scripter too and it's possible on SAMP.

How would you do it?

[Feche1320]

When you do Fwrite, it overwrites the hole line, so if you had in the first line:

123456789 

And then you write 'hello', it will look like this:

hello 

And not like this:

hello6789
