**What it does**

This tool removes specified number of lines from the ending of a dataset

-----

**Example**

Input File::

    chr7  56632  56652   D17003_CTCF_R6  310  +
    chr7  56736  56756   D17003_CTCF_R7  354  +
    chr7  56761  56781   D17003_CTCF_R4  220  +
    chr7  56772  56792   D17003_CTCF_R7  372  +
    chr7  56775  56795   D17003_CTCF_R4  207  +

After removing the last 2 lines the dataset will look like this::

    chr7  56632  56652   D17003_CTCF_R6  310  +
    chr7  56736  56756   D17003_CTCF_R7  354  +
    chr7  56761  56781   D17003_CTCF_R4  220  +
