    how do I read the last line of a text file?

    I have a huge file but I only want to read the last line and store the different fields in that last line in some variables. Is there any efficient way to do this? Thanks.

    while(fgets(buff, 200, fp));

    Just uses the same buffer for each call....
    Code:
    int main(void){srand(time(0));for(double l=rand(),l0=0,l00=0;;l0+=0.1){for(double l000=0;l000
    <1;l000+=.001,l+=((double)rand()/RAND_MAX)/0x64,l00+=((sin(l*0x8*atan(l0)*l000-(l0*0x8*atan
    (l)))*0.5)+0.5)){l00-=floor(l00);for(size_t l0000=0,l00000=(size_t)(0x50*(l00));l0000<l00000;++l0000
    )putchar(0x20);putchar(0x61+(int)((double)rand()/RAND_MAX*0x1a));putchar('\n');}}return 0;}
