Sublime text 2 tail -f in windows

Question

I was wondering if sublime text 2 can "tail -f" file like in linux, I'm using windows btw.

I wanted to see apache error log file in xampp.

Notepad++ has it is there a plugin that can do it in sublime text 2?

Answer 1

I don't know if it's possible or not, but I usually use Baretail which handle pretty well like tail.

The thing I really love with Baretail, is the regex you can define to highlight some part of your log file. Like, put each with line with

• error inside with a red background, bold and white text,
• warning message, with an orange background, italic and white text,
• etc ...

Otherwise, it seems you are not the only one who requested this kind of features (you should upvote the request on userecho).

Answer 2

There is a project called SublimeTail that is currently in development. Currently available to download in Alpha from Github.
