Hello - Im looking to create a script.vbs (perhaps) that will display a ramdomly updated text.log file to a command window, or iexplore in real time? Does this make sense?

I want to watch web traffic on a server in real time through a command window!


I know a little VBS, and I think this is that is possible in VBS, but not sure!

If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

I'm still not sure exactly what you are trying to do.

You could easily create a .vbs script that continuously polls a file for changes, use the FileSystemObject to read the file, and have it echo the results to a command window with cscript or an IE window with wscript.
