autoupdating text files using skill

Hi,

 I have a file which gets updated periodically. I use view(file) to open the file.

 I want this file to autoupdate.

I found a "view" function having that argument, but somehow it is not working for me.

command I am using: view(file "t")

g_autoUpdate: is an optional argument I want to use to enable autoupdate.

Please let me know if I am missing anything.

Thanks for the help in advance.

    Lawrence ,

     Thanks for the inputs. Yes, file : full path of the file.

      If I use  view(file) ;it displays the file.

     But if I use view(file t) I am getting following error: *Error* Invalid window specifier

      Is it like, it is not able to get which window to update?

     

    Regards,
