The following shell & (new) awk program prints the last n pages.
If you get more than 65 lines to a page, the program that inserts
the ^L's should be fixed.
-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# usage: lastpages -- prints 1 page reads stdin
# lastpages n -- prints n pages reads stdin
# lastpages n files -- prints n pages, reads file list
program='BEGIN{RS = ORS = "\f" }
{ page[NR] = $0
if ( NR > numpages ) delete page[NR-numpages]
}
END {
i = NR - numpages + 1
if ( i <= 0 ) i = 1
while( i <= NR ) print page[i++]
}'
case $# in
0) awk "$program" numpages=1 - ;;
1) awk "$program" numpages=$1 - ;;
*) pages=$1 ; shift
awk "$program" numpages=$pages $* ;;
