Re^2: print log file

hmm first: seek is byte oriented not line oriented. As far as i understood it he needs one line at a time. This isnt much of a problem when you have a file with fixed length lines but since we are talking about a logfile this is doubtful (although possible). So while seek is probably the fastest way to move around a file i'm afraid you cant use it here.

That is why the `do_test` routine skipped the first line it read. It said: `# Has moved somewhere in file. Skip partial line of log: <FILE>;` [download] This just attempts to make the log traversal smaller, not perfect. (Wouldn't be so hard either, of course. But I'm out the door in a few minutes. :-)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
