I am stating to write a little PC tool to read log files using c# or java. The log files will be in .txt format. An application is running and writing logs, and I want my tool to open the log at the same time and refresh automatically when a new line is written to the log file.
My challenge is, how do I detect the log file changes so that my tool will have real-time displaying ability? This is a general question but pseudo codes will be greatly appreciated!
