HPS WinTail is the ultimate Windows port of the
Unix tail utility. Just like the Unix tail, HPS WinTail
continually displays new lines as they are appended to
a text file - for example, a log file or a trace output
file. We have added highlighting filters, include
filters, exclude filters, and other features that
combine to make this a truly useful utility for
developers and sysadmins.



Key Features



Highlight filters - specify filter to highlight
lines containing certain text


Include Filters - specify filter to only include
lines containing certain text


Exclude Filters - specify filter to exclude
lines containing certain text


Refresh Rate - set the rate to look for updates
to the text file, from 1 second to 24 hours


Buffer Size - set no limit, or the maximum
number of lines you want to keep in the display
buffer


Enable/disable tailing - when enabled,
automatically keeps the last line in view. You may
disable tailing to scroll through the output.


Text search - search the output for any
string


Bookmarks - set a bookmark at any line you want
to return to


Font - set font for the edit window
