>Is there a way to make FGETS go backwards? I created my own function call FBACKS which uses FREAD with a negitive 1 until I hit a chr(13) or chr(10) but wanted to know if there is a better way. I basicly want to read from the file bottom to top NOT top to bottom as most low level files assumes.
I think this would be the basic approach. You might get a better spead if you read in 100, or 1000, bytes at a time, and keep it in a buffer, but this must be tested.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
