autoupdating text files using skill

skilluser132

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.

  • Hi,

    Ok, my bad, I didn't look at the documentation.  Here's the brief synopsis for the view() function:

    view(
  t_file
  [ g_boxSpec ]
  [ g_title ]
  [ g_autoUpdate ]
  [ l_iconPosition ]
  [ g_deviceMode ]
)
    => w_windowId / nil

    The autoupdate argument is not the second argument, or even the third, it is the fourth argument to the view() function. I think that you can give 'nil' for the boxSpec and Title arguments if you don't wish to supply them so that you can then supply the next argument for autoUpdate.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
