Something like this? (untested)

$Wtext = WinGetText("xyz","")
$LastLine = StringTrimLeft($WText,StringInstr($Wtext,@LF,0,-1))

Maybe it is better...

$Wtext = WinGetText("xyz","")
Select
   Case StringInStr($Wtext,@crlf)
      $S = @crlf
   Case StringInStr($Wtext,@lf)
      $S = @lf
   Case StringInStr($Wtext,@cr)
      $S = @cr
EndSelect

$LastLine = StringTrimLeft($WText,StringInstr($Wtext,$S,0,-1))

...just to be sure that the window uses the @lf.

Or WinGetText always returns @lf ?

hey.. check this:

$Wtext = WinGetText("xyz","")
Select
  Case StringInStr($Wtext,@crlf)
     $S = @crlf
  Case StringInStr($Wtext,@lf)
     $S = @lf
  Case StringInStr($Wtext,@cr)
     $S = @cr
EndSelect

$LastLine = StringTrimLeft($WText,StringInstr($Wtext,$S,0,-1))

it works.. (if i change -1 to -2.. it reads the second to the last line.)

but, heres what i am really getting

start>

chatnick> testing 1..2..3..


<end

problem is there is a return before what i need and 2 returns afterwards.. . how do i just get "chatnick> testing 1..2..3.." ? someone please help.
