The logic is quite simple,

treat "last_minus_2" as "total_records" ( i have given that name with some other logic in my mind and forgot to change it.)

so,


Code:
awk -v total_records=$(cat file | wc -l) '{if(NR>(total_records - 2)) printf "\t%s\n", $0; else print $0 }' file

now,
Code:
-v total_records=$(cat file | wc -l)

define the awk variable "total_records" that contains the total number of records ( total lines) in the file.

Code:
'{if(NR>(total_records - 2)) printf "\t%s\n", $0; else print $0 }'

NR is an awk system variable which denotes the number of the current record.
so, if that number is "last" or "second last" then append a "\t".


update:

what error are you getting?

This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc. DIRECTIVE can be: SEND_ONCE - send CODE [CODE ...] once SEND_START - start repeating CODE SEND_STOP - stop repeating CODE LIST - list configured remote items SET_TRANSMITTERS - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...] SIMULATE - simulate IR event REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file. CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
