Open a file and if a new line is added then print it

[gpatrick]

Need to open a file and if a new line is appended, then I need to print it.

Opening the file is no problem and reading the contents, but how to check if a new line has been recently appended to the file so that new line can be appended?

I'd guess BufferedReader would be used in part?

Compare its size to its size the last time you checked it?
