Need Code for these

a c program to print last n lines if the text as well as n is specified in the program.

the following program reads a file from BOF to EOF. I am looking for a program for reading from EOF to the number of lines i specify.i Can reach the end of file by using FSEEK() how do i read the lines.

STORE FOPEN('test.txt') TO gnFileHandle && Open the file
STORE FSEEK(gnFileHandle, 0, 2) TO gnEnd && Move pointer to EOF
STORE FSEEK(gnFileHandle, 0) TO gnTop && Move pointer to BOF
IF gnEnd <= 0 && Is file empty?
WAIT WINDOW 'This file is empty!' NOWAIT
ELSE && If not
gcString = FGETS(gnFileHandle, gnEnd) && Store contents
? gcString
ENDIF
= FCLOSE(gnFileHandle) && Close the file

1. Attempt the homework on your own.
2. If you have specific questions, ask. We'll be glad to help.

What are you talking about? You want to print the last n lines
of what text? You can let the user pass 'n' into your program.
Research command-line arguments to programs ... more
specifically the arguments to main() argc and argv.
