[REBOL] Rebol FAQ and Rebol Seek
From: rotenca::telvia::it at: 15-Sep-2002 16:15
Hi,
this code:
write %myfile.txt "abc"
file: open/binary/direct %myfile.txt
skip file 1
data: copy/part file 80
does not work under View 1.2.1.3.1 1.2.5.3.1 1.2.8.3.1. It freezes the Rebol
shell.
Am i doing something wrong?
It comes from REBOL FAQ:
005 How do I SEEK on a file so I don't have to read the entire file?
1-Jan-2000
Open the file with OPEN/BINARY/DIRECT and use SKIP to go to the selected
offset:
file: open/binary/direct %myfile.txt
skip file 2000
data: copy/part file 80
The above skips the first 2000 bytes of the file and then copies 80 bytes
starting from that location into DATA.
