Hi..

Could somebody help me how to read data based on data length record. The data length record will be on first 4 bytes of the record. As example:-

Based on example, i have to read first 4 byte which is "0160" is the length record for record 1. After finish read record 1, then i have to read first 4 bytes again for the second length record and so on until its finish.

Otherwise, actually my data has a trailer and the trailer length is fixed to 40 byte. Do you have any ideas to skip 40 bytes at the end of record?
