Hi All,

Can any one suggest any open source / freeware text editor which provides log viewing facility with reloading facility. This facility is very well availabe in edit plus 2 but i need a freeware to monitor continuously updated logs on windows.

u can try abiword. i have never used it on windows but i think it offers log viewing.

I know you are looking for freeware, but I can add realtime log viewing facility in TENDS Editor if you pay me

Thanks for your suggestion but AbiWord doesn't have such support to reload log file which is continuously updated by another application.

Can anyone else please help me out ?

prajal, All Linux/UNIX operating systems come with this utility called tail

what you are looking for is $ tail -f /var/log/syslog

something like this functionality... arent you?

try Notepad++ , i use it in windows .

I need such text editor for windows server. Also have installed notepad ++ but i do not find as such any option to see real time logs. Let me know the process to enable that option if any such thing is available.

Thnx,
Prajal
