Hi,

I am working on a simulation with 100 replicates using S-plus to control
three other software. my problem is one of the software puts the information
I need at the end of a output file. The output file includes pages of report
lines and tables (8 pages for my case). The information I need embedded at
the end of the report using space (or tab) delimited.

My question is can I scan the file from the end? If yes, what is the
commend? (I thought about using "skip", but if there are better ways I would
rather try them.)


Thanks!

Kwang-lee
