A more simplier way is to open the file outside the timer function and pass the file handle to read timer. Then you close the file when it is completely read (i.e fread returns 0)
Doing so, you won't have to open&seek&close the file at every timer call.


Pseudo code example:

Код:

ProcessFile(filename[], interval)
{
    new File: handle = fopen(filename, io_read);
    if(handle) SetTimerEx("ReadLines", interval, 0, "dd", handle, interval);
}

ReadLines(File: handle, interval)
{
    new string[128];
    if(fread(handle, string))
    {
        // do whatever

        SetTimerEx("ReadLines", interval, 0, "dd", handle, interval); // continue reading
    }
    else // nothing left unread
    {
        fclose(handle);
    }
}
