### Hello everybody,

### I am working on a project for read text files and remove headers, footers and also, save footers and use as a folder name.Now my question is "How can I get the last line from the text file(as a footers) and save into the variable?"

### I can search the footers but can't save the value into variable.

### Anyone have an idea how to do this?

### Thanks for your help.

Hi Jeegs,

I've attached an example project which extracts the last line of a text file.

Paul.
