Title: IntControl for reading a file that is being written to?
Post by: bmclellan on May 01, 2020, 08:57:25 AM
I am writing a large amount of data to a file in Winbatch and I'd like to open it in Notepad while the file is being written to.

I thought there was an IntControl to do that, but after hours of searching I can't find it!

Does anyone know what it is, or if it even exists?


Thanks!
Barry

You are likely thinking of IntControl 40:

I searched for everything, but that!
