Hello,

How i can read file line by line, when file is changing all the time and are added new lines to it at the end. I must read each new line.

This must look something like this.

- I open file and read all

- wait for next line

- if next line has been added so i read it

- and we loop to wait for next line

I think i can't open this file all the time when i want read line because file have 12MB and 2-5 lines are added in each second

kredzio,

You can try something like this...

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <date.au3>
#include <array.au3>

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=n

local $gui010   =   guicreate('')
local $aSize    =   wingetclientsize($gui010)
local $edt010   =   guictrlcreateedit('',10,20,$aSize[0]-20,$aSize[1]-50,bitor($es_readonly,$ws_hscroll,$ws_vscroll))
                    GUICtrlSetLimit($edt010,999999999)
                    guisetstate()

adlibregister('_log_reader',2000)

while 1
    switch guigetmsg()
        case $gui_event_close
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

func _log_reader()

    local static $FilePos = 0

    local $fl = fileopen(@scriptdir & '\file.txt')
    if $fl = -1 then exit msgbox(0,'','File open failed')

    if not filesetpos($fl,$FilePos,0) then exit msgbox(0,'ERROR','FileSetPos failed')
    local $sTmp = fileread($fl)
    $FilePos = filegetpos($fl)
    fileclose($fl)
    guictrlsetdata($edt010,_now() & ' ' & 'Data Added from Log file:' & @crlf & $sTmp,1)

endfunc

1st iteration will read the entire file.  Subsequent iterations will read records added since last iteration.  Iterations are controlled by the adlib timer.
