Hi, me again
I have 2 questions regarding file reading:
1/ is there a way to read only the last line of a file. By that i mean an inbuild function. Cause i can read every line of it till i got the last, but it would be a nice time waste, wouldnt it
2/ is there a function that detects when a file has changed?

My goal is to announce when a file is modified (without having to use timers hopefully) and in that case read the last line.
