Dear All,
I need your help concerning the following.
I am openeing a log file for processing (I need to look for certain
activities)

obviously i keep reading until the end of file.

What i need is the following: I need to be able to reload the file in
order to read the entries added to the end of the file. Obviouly, i
would like the file pointer to be positioned where i stopped reading .

can anyone help me with this ( a small code sample would be
marvelous). Or if you can tell me what function call to use in order
to reread the file and thus see the changes.

Please advise.

Regards
