readBin: read from defined offset TO defined offset?

Thanks guys!

Duncan's hints regarding "character" (which I was naturally using ;0) and 
the double "readBin" solved my problem - I'm extracting an index from a 
REALLY big XML file to get fast direct access to subsections, so that I only 
have to parse them rather than the whole thing (only SAX-style passing would 
be possible, since there's no way the thing will fit into memory).

Thanks again, Joh

Hello,

With the help of "seek" I can start "readBin" from any byte offset within
my file that I deem appropriate.
What I would like to do is to be able to define the endpoint of that read
as well. Is there any solution to that already out there?

Thanks for any hints, Joh
