Hi guys, this is my first post here, however I been reading these posts for some months now. Anyway, my question: is there any way to read a file that is being written to by another program at the same time that your program executes, instead of opening and closing the file periodically? Im not sure what this would be called, maybe real time file parsing. Thanks.

I''m pretty sure Win32 can do this with memory mapped files, but I have no idea about disk-based files. Or you could use a pipe, that''s what they''re for.
