Search in file, of the end to the beginning

Hello all!!

I want to know of that way I can seek in a file of text from the end of the file up to the beginning to initiate, this is in vi

I want to execute a search from the end of a file using vi

to search backwards from the bottom of the file use: ?

to search forward use: /

For reverse search in vi(1) switch to command mode and issue the command:

?string_to_search

Hi Hayse,

'G' to go to the end of the file. Then enter '?' and "Return". 'n' will repeat the search in reverse (and 'N' will repeat in the forward direction).
