how to continuously read a changing text file
Hello!
I am new to java, I wish to write java code to continuously read text file every time the file is modified, - like new text added. This is for my real-time thesis project. I have tried using while loop, but the code is not efficient, it real slows down the machines. Could anyone help me please.

Hi!
When you say, you want to continuously read text file, i believe that even your java prog will be running?
I think you can try the 'keylistener' interface, it defines a function called keyPressed(), if you have javadocs, that's really good.
so whenever you type a key, this function will be called and you can write appropriate code in that function(keyPressed())
I really hope this solves ur problem
ALL the best!!
