That is batch. Tail is an add-on command. You can run that from the prompt or a batch file.
Can I put a question here?

its just a .exe file. you use it just like any other .exe. Store in your system32, or some other directory your %PATH% variable points to.

Hi
Do you want to ignore spaces and does 1000 chars equal so many lines or can it be
part way along a line.
How many charactors can there be on one line.
If its so many lines you could use the SKIP command in the FOR loop to skip a number of lines.
