How to monitor a text file in realtime

monitoring, text-files

Solution

- Tail for Win32

- Apache Chainsaw - used this with log4net logs, may require file to be in a certain format

Problem

For debugging purposes in a somewhat closed system, I have to output text to a file. Does anyone know of a tool that runs on windows (console based or not) that detects changes to a file and outputs them in real-time?
