Displaying a .txt file in my html using Python Flask
Maybe it would be better if for the log
to read the file backwards
in order to access the last log first
.
pip3 install file-read-backwards
For example, I will show this code backwards:
In your case, it is necessary to replace
app.py
withlogs.txt
from flask import Flask, render_template
from file_read_backwards import FileReadBackwards
app = Flask(__name__, template_folder="template")
with FileReadBackwards("app.py") as f:
# getting lines by lines starting from the last line up
b_lines = [ row for row in f ]
@app.route('/', methods=["GET", "POST"])
def index():
return render_template('index.html', b_lines=b_lines)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
UPDATE - without libraries
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__, template_folder="template")
@app.route('/', methods=["GET", "POST"])
def index():
b_lines = [row for row in reversed(list(open("app.py")))]
return render_template('index.html', b_lines=b_lines)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
Put in your log.html
:
<br>
Description:
<br>
<textarea id="stackoverflow" name="stackoverflow_review" rows="35" cols="55">
{% for line in b_lines %}
{{ line }}
{% endfor %}
</textarea>
output:
In your case, the latest changes from the
logs.txt
file will be displayed first.
return Response(content, mimetype='text/plain')
but really you probably want to use something like logstash...
