If it helps, you are not the only one .. ;-) >If you are on *nix, there is a built-in tail command. Yes, it has been a while, but *nix tail was my first thought. But I guess I was still hoping there was a java method I had overlooked. I am a little surprised there is no built in java method or class that does this.
