Hello everyone.
I want to know the best way to accomplish this particular situation.
I have a C++ application that has a file open for write access
constantly and it is always updating the information in the file (
maybe once a second or so ). That isnt the problem :)
I want to have a second seperate application (written in PHP or Java,
but thats irrelavent) that _only_ reads the information in the file.
So it will open it for read access only, read it in, and close it.
I know that things don't really work well when files already have open
handles on them, so i was wondering what the input was regarding this.
Im sure this has to be done somewhere as I dont think its revolutionary
:) Just escapes me as to what to do.
Thanks everyone!

OK

Relevant enough to make your question OT...
that _only_ reads the information in the file.

handles on them, so i was wondering what the input was regarding this.
Post to the newsgroup that deals with your OS. File access across
processes, locking, rights, exclusiveness, etc., are all features of your
OS, not of the language.
Im sure this has to be done somewhere as I dont think its revolutionary
:) Just escapes me as to what to do.
That's simple: find a better place to ask your OS-specific question.

Hello there,
I was wondering how I can check whether I am allowed to read a certain file
or not? Some of e.g. XP's files are not readable, not even by the Administrator,
and when trying to open a file for reading, it throws an exception (e.g.:
{"The process cannot access the file \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Joerg\\Local

My program generates a log file for every event that happens in the program.
So, I open the file and keep it open till the end. This is how I open the
file for writing:
<CODE>
public CLogHandler()

System.IO.FileAccess.Write, System.IO.FileShare.Read);

I'm trying to finish implementing security on my database. I have
secured the .mdb with a .mdw file as per the MS security FAQ with no
problems.
The last part of security that I need to implement is that the first
person to open and log on to the database gets to use the database.
Any subsequent log on users will flip into READ-ONLY mode and won't be
able to modify any data.
All my users belong to a 'full-data-access' group that...

Hi i'm creating a program that reads various log files from another
program (Find-a-Drug DC project).
The problem is, when I read some of the logs I get the error
This process cannot access the file"C:\...." because it
is being used by another process
Well I know that :) as it's the log files for a constantly running DC
program.
The code below is what I'm using.

Hi:
I'm having problems reading a Microsoft Access file from my ASP.Net app on a
Windows Server 2003 machine. The error message:
The Microsoft database engine cannot open the file, <my_file>. It is
already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view
its data.
I've read some info about this (microsoft support article q316675) but I'm
still confused on what to do?
