'Live tail of Windows log file

I have several Windows servers that I want to monitor a log file on them live and when a new line added with specific string to run a command on Linux server.

In order to tail the Windows log file I'm using the following command:

Get-Content <file name> -Wait | Select-String -Pattern <some string>

The command prints, all lines that having the string and new lines having the string.

How can I show just new lines from the moment I run the command and not all lines on the files ?
