I like shell strings, so maybe I can use the PPT, however what I really need to do is 'tail' the file, like tail -f, where new lines are printed, but rather than get the new lines at the end of the file as they are added, I need to 'pull' them out bewteen the binary boundaries. Think that is doable ?? Actually I found the binary junk to only be at the bottom. so it goes like this

text1
text2
JUNKJUNKJUNK

a line is added

text1
text2
text3
JUNKJUNKJUNK
