<div class="gmail_quote">I have a program that writes a log file as it is running to give status of the job. I would like to read that file, pull certain lines of text from it, and write to a new file. Because I am such a novice user, I was hoping someone had covered this before and could let me know of your methods. If I open and close the file repeatedly to get refreshed information, I assume it would slow the system down. Any thoughts?<br>
