tail

#tail

To install:

npm install tail

#Use:

Tail = require('tail').Tail;

tail = new Tail("fileToTail");

tail.on("line", function(data) {
  console.log(data);
});

tail.on("error", function(error) {
  console.log('ERROR: ', error);
});

Tail accepts the line separator as second parameter. If nothing is passed it is defaulted to new line '\n'.

var lineSeparator= "-";

new Tail("fileToTail",lineSeparator)

Tail emits two type of events:

• line

function(data){}

• error

function(exception){}

If you simply want to stop the tail:

tail.unwatch()

And to start watching again:

tail.watch()
