I have a log file that keeps changing every couple of seconds. I’m using Windows 7 and would like to follow it. In Linux it would have been simple, just type tailf log.log in a shell. But how do I do this in Windows? Can anyone recommend any programs? Does notepad++ have an option for this sort of thing perhaps?
Notepad++ can do auto update of files. You can find the setting in
Settings -> Preferences... -> MISC -> File Status Auto-Detection. Check all three boxes and the files will be updated on change and scrolled to the bottom. Only problem with this is that the Notepad++ window has to be in focus for it to update.There is also a
Document Monitor pluginfor Notepad++ but I have never tried it myself.
