Check only the new part of a text file?

[halloleo]

Hi again. I have another text file that is appended to every night. Is tether an easy way to match against the newly added content?

E.g. The file looks like

Code: Select all

Sync ok.
Compare done.
124534 items transferred.
Connection failed. No Sync.
Compare done.
0 items transferred.
Sync ok.
Compare done.
1245312items transferred.
...


Each time lines get added like:

Code: Select all

Sync ok.
Compare done.
124534 items transferred.


or

Code: Select all

Connection failed. No Sync.
Compare done.
0 items transferred.


When the file changes I would like to check the new portion for "Sync ok".

Can I do this easily with Hazel?

I don't think there's any way to do that with the built-in logic. You'd need a script and even then, you'd need some way of recording where in the file it's at.

Thanks. Makes sense.

I will try to get a single output per run -- this will make it soo much easier!
