Translate this unix command ;o)

[LinuXelite]

Hi!

Can someone translate this unix command into dos-command | win32 please?


tail -f c:\log.txt > perl c:\line2mysql.pl

(real-time mysql logging)

Thank you
Frank

The only part of that which requires translation would be tail -f, and there are a few utils out there that do this, but nothing inherent in DOS.

There is also a version of less that has been ported to DOS that can do much the same thing with a -F switch.

Or maybe you could do the tail -f within Perl;

...of course, you'd need Perl for DOS...

Hope this helps CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk

PERL4DOS! THAT'S BRILLANT!

File::Tail
Perl extension for reading from continously updated files


My perl script will work under my w2k server (I wish it was a linux one) and notify my VB program by sending a ping to a socket!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Have you tried cygwin (UNIX for Windows - there's even an X server for it!)
