Sort of new to Macro Express and very new to the forums. I have searched everything I could find here, in the tutorials, and everywhere else I could think of because I have a feeling that this is something very simple. And I believe this is the command I need to use Text File Begin Process but after testing I cant figure out how to make it work for me.
A little background:
I am trying to process a number of text files that multiple people use that range anywhere from 30 lines to 1000's of lines.
The problem:
What I am looking to do is find a process to "read" the files every so often, and if it finds a word/words that it gives me an alert.
What I have:
LoL The alert... Microsoft Sam telling me that "you are a lazy bastid" in a wave file.
Thanks for any input...

Text File Begin Process
in Macro Express 3.x
Posted
There are 5 files.
The file names do not change.
And from some basic tests that seems to work perfectly and quickly...
The only reason I figured I needed to us the Text File Begin Process was that I wanted it to scan through the file until it came upon anything new that had been added and to only scan that. And I figured it needed to only scan the last little portions because thats what is going to be updated.
