Forums Feature Suggestions fline & filter - from bottom - limited range

For either command fline and filter

It would be very useful
- to set a bottom to top search through a switch
- the above plus limiting the search to an amount of lines- It could be set just by setting a negative number with the -r switch

Please if you implemented it, I would appreciate if you mentioned my ID

Thank you in advance ... for something ... hopefully.

Something like this has been suggested already (for an other identifier but the working progress would be the same)

Check also this post.

Also i full support this idea!

Thank you for informing me and supporting the idea.
I think Wims is right, reading a file is slow ... reading it backwards is slower ... but very useful !
Doing the same thing with a window is very fast .. but the code is similar so ... once you do it for one target ... the strategy is already designed for whichever else.
