I know this will display at line 900.
However the syslog file is variable in length.
geany -l 900 syslog.txt
Can I have geany display just the last 50 lines?
Thanks.

I'm not sure it can be done directly using Geany, but if you are on a POSIX-ey OS with a BASH-like shell you can do something as described in this pastebin:
I tested it on Ubuntu 20.04 and it works OK.

Thanks.
This is MUCH shorter.
tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog > end_syslog.txt geany end_syslog.txt

Indeed, I just offered a good general purpose wrapper script that does proper cleanup and saves a bit of typing.

To be clear, with the setup as I described, you just run:
geany-tail -n50 /var/log/syslog
Rather than:
tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog > end_syslog.txt geany end_syslog.txt
And it will cleanup the intermediate file automatically.
All but line 39 in my pastebin only has to be done once to make the 'geany-tail' command available.
