If you highlight a word (say, "WARNING") that will automatically be highlighted everywhere in the file and you can just scroll down and it will "Just show them!" Granted, I've never done this on a file that's constantly updating, so I guess I don't know what it will do in your use case. > -- > This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.

I've found them crazy responsive about adding features and fixing bugs if you help them help you. IMHO, live viewing of a file that's constantly being appended to is a pretty specialized use-case. With BBEdit having to constantly reload and reparse the file, I'm not shocked it doesn't handle your very specific case perfectly how you want it. It's like you're asking the Ponies to jump through hoops. There's also applications out there that are specifically designed to work with log files, like the OSX included Console.app. - Steve -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
