Notepad ++ automatically refreshes text

The current log information is usually printed on the hard disk rather than stored online. Therefore, we often use Notepad ++ to view text files on the hard disk.

There are usually two problems.

(1) After the notepad ++ is minimized for a long period of time, the system will prompt whether to download the latest file again. If you accidentally click an error, you may need to download it for a long time.

(2) When we use Notepad ++ to view logs, the log can be viewed as a snapshot of instant text and will not be automatically refreshed because of background stream writing, so every time you need to view the latest logs, you need to turn it off and re-open it. It is very troublesome to view multiple logs at the same time.

This section describes a method to refresh the text opened in Notepad ++ in real time, effectively solving the two problems mentioned above.
