PowerShell Community Extensions (PSCX)提供了Get-FileTail cmdlet。这看起来是一个适合这项任务的解决方案。注意:我没有尝试它与非常大的文件，但描述说，它有效地尾部内容，它是为大型日志文件设计的。

NAME
    Get-FileTail

SYNOPSIS
    PSCX Cmdlet: Tails the contents of a file - optionally waiting on new content.

SYNTAX
    Get-FileTail [-Path] <String[]> [-Count <Int32>] [-Encoding <EncodingParameter>] [-LineTerminator <String>] [-Wait] [<CommonParameters>]

    Get-FileTail [-LiteralPath] <String[]> [-Count <Int32>] [-Encoding <EncodingParameter>] [-LineTerminator <String>] [-Wait] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    This implentation efficiently tails the cotents of a file by reading lines from the end rather then processing the entire file. This behavior is crucial for ef
    ficiently tailing large log files and large log files over a network.  You can also specify the Wait parameter to have the cmdlet wait and display new content
    as it is written to the file.  Use Ctrl+C to break out of the wait loop.  Note that if an encoding is not specified, the cmdlet will attempt to auto-detect the
     encoding by reading the first character from the file. If no character haven't been written to the file yet, the cmdlet will default to using Unicode encoding
    . You can override this behavior by explicitly specifying the encoding via the Encoding parameter.

我采用了@hajamie的解决方案，并将其包装到一个更方便的脚本包装器中。

我添加了一个选项，从文件结束之前的偏移量开始，因此您可以使用类似尾部的功能，从文件结束处读取一定量的数据。注意偏移量是以字节为单位的，而不是行。

你还可以选择继续等待更多内容。

示例(假设您将其保存为TailFile.ps1):

.\TailFile.ps1 -File .\path\to\myfile.log -InitialOffset 1000000
.\TailFile.ps1 -File .\path\to\myfile.log -InitialOffset 1000000 -Follow:$true
.\TailFile.ps1 -File .\path\to\myfile.log -Follow:$true

这是脚本本身……

param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,HelpMessage="Enter the path to a file to tail")][string]$File = "",
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,HelpMessage="Enter the number of bytes from the end of the file")][int]$InitialOffset = 10248,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false,HelpMessage="Continuing monitoring the file for new additions?")][boolean]$Follow = $false
)

$ci = get-childitem $File
$fullName = $ci.FullName

$reader = new-object System.IO.StreamReader(New-Object IO.FileStream($fullName, [System.IO.FileMode]::Open, [System.IO.FileAccess]::Read, [IO.FileShare]::ReadWrite))
#start at the end of the file
$lastMaxOffset = $reader.BaseStream.Length - $InitialOffset

while ($true)
{
    #if the file size has not changed, idle
    if ($reader.BaseStream.Length -ge $lastMaxOffset) {
        #seek to the last max offset
        $reader.BaseStream.Seek($lastMaxOffset, [System.IO.SeekOrigin]::Begin) | out-null

        #read out of the file until the EOF
        $line = ""
        while (($line = $reader.ReadLine()) -ne $null) {
            write-output $line
        }

        #update the last max offset
        $lastMaxOffset = $reader.BaseStream.Position
    }

    if($Follow){
        Start-Sleep -m 100
    } else {
        break;
    }
}

非常基本，但不需要任何附加模块或PS版本要求:

while ($true){清除主机;gc E:\test.txt | select -last 3;睡眠2}

有许多有效的答案，但是，没有一个与linux中的tail具有相同的语法。下面的函数可以存储在$Home\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile中。Ps1的持久性(请参阅powershell概要文档了解更多详细信息)。

这允许你调用…

tail server.log
tail -n 5 server.log
tail -f server.log
tail -Follow -Lines 5 -Path server.log

这与Linux语法非常接近。

function tail {
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Get the last n lines of a text file.
    .PARAMETER Follow
        output appended data as the file grows
    .PARAMETER Lines
        output the last N lines (default: 10)
    .PARAMETER Path
        path to the text file
    .INPUTS
        System.Int
        IO.FileInfo
    .OUTPUTS
        System.String
    .EXAMPLE
        PS> tail c:\server.log
    .EXAMPLE
        PS> tail -f -n 20 c:\server.log
#>
    [CmdletBinding()]
    [OutputType('System.String')]
    Param(
        [Alias("f")]
        [parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
        [switch]$Follow,

        [Alias("n")]
        [parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
        [Int]$Lines = 10,

        [parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=5)]
        [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
        [IO.FileInfo]$Path
    )
    if ($Follow)
    {
        Get-Content -Path $Path -Tail $Lines -Wait
    }
    else
    {
        Get-Content -Path $Path -Tail $Lines
    }
}
