Seek Function


Seek( filenumber )

The parameter filenumber is used in the open statement and must be a valid numeric expression.

Seek returns a number that represents the byte position where the next operation is to take place.  The first byte in the file is at position 1.

Example:

    Sub Main

        Open "TESTFILE" For Input As #1   ' Open file for reading.

        Do While Not EOF(1)   ' Loop until end of file.

            MyChar = Input(1, #1)   ' Read next character of data.

            Print Seek(1)   ' Print byte position  .

        Loop

        Close #1   ' Close file.

    End Sub
