At last i can repay some debt by answering a question instead of asking! And i won't get sarky and say RTFM!

FileReadLine ( filehandle or "filename" [, line] ) is the function you need.

Or like in this example:

#Include <File.au3>
$PATH = FileOpenDialog("SELECT",@ScriptDir,"All (*.*)",1)
Dim $LINE
_FileReadToArray($PATH,$LINE)
If IsArray($LINE) And $LINE[0] >= 2 Then MsgBox(0,"LINE 2",$LINE[2])

How do I read the second to last line of a file with an unknown number of lines?

FileReadLine will read the last line with a line number = -1 but I can't figure out how to read the line previous to that.

You could use _FileCountLines() to check how many lines there are and reduce that number by 1 and FileReadLine() it, or use UBound() if using Andreik's example
