Write last line of log file that is updating


Recommended Posts

Hello AutoIt Scriptwriters! 👋❤️

The log file of one of Server Managers is opened and now is writing by Server Manager

Log file contents are:

2019-03-21 Error!: Syntax not found!

2019-03-21 Error! Specified language not found! 

 

How can i make a script to check the log file every 1 second, if log file writes new line, then send a MsgBox that contains last written line by Server Manager?

Use FileGetSize() in a loop with sleep(1000) to get filesize.

If it changes, open the file for read, position to EOF - deltasize with filesetpos()

Fileread() and display in messagebox

 

Thanks bro! 

If you write these codes, it's better😓

It's really annoying to keep seeing people who, even if pointed to a Forum etiquette multiple times, keep asking for code without putting minimum effort in what they are trying to do.

Annoying and sad at the same time.

Ffs, do something and stop asking for code.

Sure, but that's not an excuse.

If you keep asking for code without putting any effort trying to do and, most important, to understand what you are trying to do, then you'll never understand what you are doing, and you'll always need someone who spoon the code for you (even if it's not a good thing to do here).

Do something, and if you need help, then post your code here.

Actually you can just keep the file handle open and use readfile on it @extended will contain the characters read like so..

 

;Pseudo code
Global $g_sFile = "C:\Logfile.txt"
Global $g_hFile = FileOpen($g_sFile) ;Read Permissions
Global $g_iRetries = 60 ;Exits after 60 seconds with no new data

If $g_hFile < 0 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Can't open " & $g_sFile)
    Exit
EndIf

Global $g_sRead = ""

While $g_iRetries > 0
    $g_sRead &= FileRead($g_hFile, -1)
    ;@extended is set to the number of bytes/characters returned
    If @extended = 0 Then
        $g_iRetries -= 1
        sleep(1000)
    Else ;There is new data!!
        ConsoleWrite($g_sRead & @CRLF)
        $g_sRead = ""
        $g_iRetries = 60 ; reset wait count
    Endif   
WEnd
FileClose($g_hFile)

Thanks brother, Thanks🎉🍻
