Reverse File Read

[jhooie]

Is there a way to process a file loop starting with the last line in the file and moving toward the first line?

Yes.

Sorry ... I just couldn't resist that one-liner.

 

First loop through the file and get a line count. Process all lines starting at 1.

 

Set N1 to 0
Process text File
  Increment N1
End Process

 

Now create a repeat loop stepping from that number down to 1. Inside this loop go directly to the current line number by setting the starting line to the current loop number and the number of lines to process to 1

 

Repeat until N1=0
  Process text file (Go to the current N1 line)
     <Macro processing commands here>
  End Process
End Repeat
