Get last line from a file

I'd like to write batch to read the last line (that in this case is a number) of a file log.txt and to assign this value to another variable. I shoud repeat this operation every 10 seconds since the log.txt comes from a software application and updates every 5-10 seconds.

:loop for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%A in (log.txt) do ( set myvar=%%A ) echo !myvar! ping 0.0.1.1 -n 1 -w 10000 > nul goto :loop
===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Hi M2Go,
it seems working perfectly! than you very much! Another question: do you know a way to print a string composed solely by a letter repeated n-times (with n a natural number to be defined)? for example: n=7 letter="q" -> string="qqqqqqq" n=10 letter="x" -> string="xxxxxxxxxx" thanks...
