How know when an writable text file is finished.

[juanjo]

In my application I call to an external program that write in a log file (simple text file), these file is diferent each time that it is created, and not it is write in one time, various times is required for totally complete the log info.
Well, I need to know when the file is complety write and know if the writing process is finished. Some how EOF.

The File Object and the File-Folder object no have any feature that solve these.

Any help will be welcome for solve these.

Thanks.

What is the state of the log file when finished?

Meaning: How would you, being the developer of this application, know when complete by looking at the log file?

I need know the end of file for two reasons:
First, for load the next frame, that show the fully log file.
Second, If I try to load the log file into any text object of MMF2 It will not work until the file log be complete.

Thanks.
