About the Text Tail Tool
The Text Tail Tool extracts the last N lines from a block of text — useful for analyzing logs, viewing the most recent entries in a file, or extracting the relevant information at the end of a document.
It works like the Unix tail command familiar to developers: instead of scrolling through pages of output to find the newest entries, you tell it how many lines you want from the end, and it returns exactly that — instantly, and without you needing a terminal at all.
