From: "Mulander" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, In your situation I would try doing something like:
a) Check the size of the local file ** My program does that. b) connect to the remote computer c) check the size of the remote file ** Yes, I am doing that. d) if local and remote file sizes do not match then I would use seek to jump to offset where my file ends. ** I have tried that, but with a few problems. Although I will run the program under Linux, I have tested under Windows and I have forgotten to use binmode so the program was not working. Then I have made it work, but I still don't know something. I can get the rest of the file from that point to the end of the file, then split that text by "\n" in more lines.... this is not a problem, but the problem of while loop still remains. I will try to test File::Tail and family and I hope I won't lose some lines because each of them is very important. I hope it won't overuse the system if I will put a wait time of 0 seconds.
