Hi List,
I have a closed-source application which creates log files. I'd like to capture this logfile data as it is crated, and do clever things with it!
Is this possible? I guess it must be, because there are "tail" type utilities for Windows...
Is it possible in Python? I'd be grateful for any pointers!
BTW, it doesn't matter either way whether I can somehow pipe the log output to my program /without/ the file actually being created, or if I can capture it /as/ it is created - I just need to get my mitts on the data as it is generated...it would be better if I had the file as well, but it is not essential...
Thanks in Anticipation!
