HPS WinTail is the ultimate Windows port of the Unix tail utility. Just like the Unix tail, HPS WinTail continually displays new lines as they are appended to a text file - for example, a log file or a trace output file. We have added highlighting filters, include filters, exclude filters, and other features that combine to make this a truly useful utility for developers and sysadmins.

Key Features

Highlight filters- specify filter to highlight lines containing certain text
Include Filters- specify filter to only include lines containing certain text
Exclude Filters - specify filter to exclude lines containing certain text
Refresh Rate - set the rate to look for updates to the text file, from 1 second to 24 hours
Buffer Size - set no limit, or the maximum number of lines you want to keep in the display buffer
Enable/disable tailing - when enabled, automatically keeps the last line in view. You may disable tailing to scroll through the output.
Text search - search the output for any string
Bookmarks - set a bookmark at any line you want to return to
Font - set font for the edit window
