scanning starts from the beginning of the file, not the end. I think he wants to scan the other way round.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. As far as loop scripts go, I'd like to see someone loop a read script on a 50mb file or bigger, the amount of time it takes to search through it is just too long (takes about a minute, if not more, depending on the PC).

Also I'm a little surprised by the amount of people who suggest this feature is useless since they don't need it - we all obviously have diffrent needs, I don't use the /readini command, does it mean I have to rally against it?

Thanks for the alternative suggestions on the thread so far, I'll have a look at how they work and will most likley use them for now, but a command like $endread would be very handy.
