I am not good with file operations... and am having
a little bit of trouble.

I have bind which triggers and then adds some text
to a file "a" append. So the text is added from the last
line.

I have 2 lines added on my bind trigger.
I want to read these lines with the help of 'get'.
One of my friends suggested 'exec [cat ..blabla' I'm not
good at that.

****
I just need to read the last two lines of a file, everytime they are
added into the file on a trigger. (last and second last lines)
Then I need to set them to two different variables.
And then use them for processing in my script.
****

Also... how can I make it read say a specific line say line 57.
If I want to read a specific line out of the file, how can that be done?

Here is some what I could come up with, after seeing the
File Operations thread in the FAQ section of this forum.

Code: 

set myfile "records.dat"set file [open $myfile "r"] set data [read -nonewline $file] close $fileset lines [split $data "\n"] set lastline [expr [llength $lines] - 1] set secondlastline [expr [llength $lines] - 2]
Is this correct?? Please help me.
