Hi.
I have a text file that has a bunch of stuff that I don't need, but I just need the last line of text.
Is there any way to make a batch file that will open a text file, take that last line of text, paste it into a seperate text file, add a carraige return, and add the text "<ID02><PB>" to the beginning?

:: pluslast.bat :: put "<ID02><PB>" + last line of myfile into newfile
@echo off setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
> newfile echo "<ID02><PB>"
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (myfile) do ( set last=%%a ) echo !last! >> newfile
===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
