The /fseek command sets the read/write pointer to the specified position in the file, position starts at 0.
Synopsis
/fseek -nlwr <name> <position|N|matchtext>
Switches
- -l - sets the pointer to the beginning of the Nth line
- -n - sets the pointer to the beginning of the next line (from the current position of the read/write pointer)
- -w - sets the pointer to the beginning of the line matching the wildcard expression
- -r - sets the pointer to the beginning of the line matching the regular expression
Parameters
- <name> - the name of the file handle
- <position|N|matchtex> - not required if you use -n, if -l is used: a line number, if -w is used: a wildcard expression, if -r is used: a regular expression, if no switch is used, it's the position in the file (Nth byte)
Note: if /fseek is not successful (can't find a match with -w or -r, can't find the Nth line with -l etc), it will set the read/write pointer to the end of the file. $fopen().err is not set.
Example
/fseek myfile 42 /fseek -l myfile 12 /fseek -n /fseek -w *findthis* /fseek -r /findthat/
Compatibility
Added: 6.1
