Font-lock in .log file

Font-lock in .log file

[Will]

Hi,

i'd like to highlight lines containing "Error:" in red and
lines containing "Note:" in blue every time a xxx.log file is opened or 
a xxx.log buffer is reverted from a file.

Currently I am using the functions
(highlight-lines-matching-regexp "ERROR:" 'hi-red-b)
(highlight-lines-matching-regexp "NOTE:" 'hi-blue-b)
but I don't know to what hook I should add them.

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks for help in advance,

Will

(defun highlite-it ()
"Highlight certain lines..."
(interactive)
(if (equal "log" (file-name-extension (buffer-file-name)))
    (progn
     (highlight-lines-matching-regexp "ERROR:" 'hi-red-b)
     (highlight-lines-matching-regexp "NOTE:" 'hi-blue-b)
    )
)
)

(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'highlite-it)

look at find-file-hook and after-revert-hook

does something like 

          (add-hook 'find-file-hook
                 (lambda ()
                   (when (and (buffer-file-name)
                              (string-match "\\.log\\'" (buffer-file-name)))
                     (highlight-lines-matching-regexp "ERROR:" 'hi-red-b)
                     (highlight-lines-matching-regexp "NOTE:" 'hi-blue-b))))

work for you?
