get the last word from a text file

[Anon]

i have a text file that's update all the time. i need to get the last word from it. how can i do that?

[Anon]

$fp = fopen("textfile.txt","r");
$file = fread($fp,filesize("textfile.txt"));
fclose($fp);

preg_match("/ ([^{\n]*)$/",$file,$parts);}
$last_word = $parts[1];

That should do the trick, but I have not tested it...

Hope this helps.
