Elif 0.1.0 Released
I’ve needed it twice now and Martin DeMello also found a use for it,
so I have rolled a gem out of my solution to Ruby Q. #64 to make it
easier for people to find and use.
What is Elif?
A port of File::ReadBackwards, the Perl module by Uri Guttman, for
reading a file in reverse, line by line. This can often be helpful
for things like log files, where the interesting information is
usually at the end.
Where can I learn more?
Elif is hosted on RubyForge.
