Hello,
I'm trying to read (only) a log file, as an application is creating it.
The Windows type and copy commands successful access, which is what I'm
trying to do with Rexx. At this point the code I'm using is:
do fishing = 1 to 9999999999 while lines(Windower_Logs'\'logfile_name) > 0
fishing.fishing = linein(Windower_Logs'\'logfile_name)
parse var fishing.fishing 2 fishing_TOD.fishing +8 11
fishing_text.fishing
end
Lines is returning 0, even though as type and copy show data does exist.
How can I read the file on a read/only basis, even though another
application (plugin for Windower, BTW) has the file open. (Windower is a
program to help people play Final Fantasy XI.) (What I'm trying to do is
provide my Son with real time information about his fishing. First in text
format and later using ooDialog.)
Thank you,
Bert.
