Simple Server -LogReader- in python

[TolH]

If you are like me and love to make random Arma3 server for fun "LOCALLY". And/or making scripts and want to look for errors or whatever without opening the .rpt manually to keep track of your errors, then you can use this, made in python to stream your .rpt live on a second screen to see whats going on? Then maybe you will find an utility for it.

What is this script doing ?

Well it's main function is to constantly stream your server .rpt in a seperate window to keep track of anything you like.
Right now i use it to see any errors and copy the errors to a file when found.
It also copy "tickets" or "idea" from a function i have on the server to a file.
Can be expanded to suit your need for anything you like if you know a tiny bit of python like i do.

The script:
Can be easily tested in VSCode, to get a cmd prompt like in the video, you will need some setting on opening a .py file.
