narayanjr Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Is there anyway to read a text file that is open and being written to by another program? One program is constantly writing things to a file and it never closes it until the program stops, but i need to be able to keep getting text out of the file while it is open. Any ideas? Thanks.

narayanjr Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Is it possible to close it somehow, then have autoit read it then reopen so the program can continue to write to the file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narayanjr Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I cant send Control S to it because it is not a window. It is a dll that is writing a log file and it doesnt open a window that i can send control s to. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
