in reply to text file problem

Hi anonymoushydrogen,

By my reckoning 21197 x 70 == 1483790. So characters 1490117 .. 1492312 do not exist.

Cheers,
Rob

    I assume he's slurping the file, including the \ns. (He is, afterall, talking about byte offsets into a file!) Therefore, 21197 * 71 = 1504987, so characters 1490117 .. 1492312 could exist!
