Hi, anyone know how to open file for binary at certain pos, then grab whatever from that pos to array? I'm trying to make a filetransfer that supports resume, but I got an 'bad record number' error. Thnx in advance.
To move to a location in a file, use this code:
Code:Seek #1,546
Or use the api
I know it's a bit complicated but it may be of any use sometime!Code:'FROM THE API_TOOLSHED
