Hi Peter
Thank you very much for the tip. ":e" works so nicely. I will try out those
commands soon. Should I insert them in my vimrc file ?
Again, many thanks

Hi Tien,
You can use ':e[dit]' to reload the current file. Perhaps you could set up
something with an autocommand based on the CursorHold event and reduce the
updatetime to half a second? For example:
set updatetime=500
augroup RefreshFile
autocmd!
autocmd CursorHold somefile.log edit
augroup end
However, this may not work so well if you have multiple files open in Vim.
regards,
Peter
