Has anyone ever developed a screen to display a log or text file being written to in the HOME folder?

If so i would appreciate a rundown of how you managed it. Can’t really see a good way of doing it outside creating a Visual Studio project.

I have made a screen with a list view that is binded to a string array to do this. The string array is shifted in a RAPID model and the first index is always written to… Works quite well!

Sorry to bump this, do you perhaps have an example of what you did?  
I’m looking for a way to be able to display a list of all files in a folder, and i think this could work
