Re: [julia-users] Re: tail active log

You'd want something more like this: open(last_sim_log) do fh while !eof(fh) print(readline(fh)) end end This does a couple of things: 1. Use the open(...) do fh ... end construct to ensure file closing. 2. Check for stream end using eof(fh) instead of catching an error.

Thanks for the replies, For some reason only one chunk of data is printed even though the log is still being written to fh = open(last_sim_log) try while true print(readline(fh)) end finally close(fh) end For readavailable(fh), I getting "no method matching

If you don't mind blocking when a complete line isn't available, you can just call readline(io) repeatedly. On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 7:57 AM, Steven G. Johnson wrote: > > > On Thursday, September 15, 2016 at 7:11:55 AM UTC-4, Adrian Lewis wrote: >> >> I have an active log
