I don’t know if you can ask questions about this subject, but I’m having difficulties to open the file continuously on Windows CMD.

When I use Linux just do this:

tail -f C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log

But in Windows this command does not work. Does anyone know how to inform me similar to this or another that does the same function of staying with open file to check the simultaneous writing?

It would be better for you to say what you want to achieve with Cmd, because not everyone knows how Tail -f works. " Continuously opening" is not exactly such a clear way to describe the follow. This would make it easier for those who only have a CMD domain to help you.

Do this with the Windows Powershell, just do this command:

Get-Content C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log -Wait

If you really want to use the tail Linux, you can install the GNU Libraries for Win32.
