Subject: 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
