Hi @steve,
When I was assisting griffler in This Thread, I noticed that INPUT FROM FILE didn't work the way I originally thought it would.
When using the INPUT FROM FILE | STRING, it is looking at the entire contents of the file and can be too extensive for a single variable field. So, I thought we could just use INPUT FROM FILE | VARIABLES and look for one of the variable handles.
The issue I soon realised is that, with this it has to be setup in a certain format for MMM to see any changes.
My idea was either, INPUT FROM FILE | LAST or INPUT FROM FILE | VARIABLE.
INPUT FROM FILE | LAST would only look at the last line of the file.
INPUT FROM FILE | VARIABLE-F would look at the entire file but only look for variable handles called in MMM and was not affected by what else was in the file or the format of the file. E.g., Logfile.
Just an idea.
Cheers,
Zeak
