The source application is making a text file that has a lot of text lines (strings) the name is fixed : 'vskprt.log' (i can't change that) it is an alarmlog and it gets updated a lot. when i move it , the source applicaion creates a new file with the same name.(no problem so far) The problem is to copy that file to multiple destinations because once there the file gets read by my application and i get read/write errors. isn't there another better way ? for example send a signal to my program when the file can be taken or not ? how can i do that (the progs are not on the same PC) Euphoria has no threads , so i probably can't check all the time for a signal.(udp?) in short: file1 gets moved to file2 on other path, file2 gets copied to file3,4,5 or other paths on 3 other PC's an then file2 gets deleted.the other pc's read and process the content of file3,4,5 (may take 5 sec's because its a 5Kb file sometimes) and then delete file3,4,5. What i want to do is just have the 3 or more PC's in a IP network process the same content of 1file and then (once read by all) delete it. thanks for any help Renzo from Belgium
