FSEEK()

    FSEEK() sets the file pointer to a new position in a file.

Syntax

    FSEEK(<expN1>,<expN2>[,<expN3>])

Argument

    <expN1> is the file handle obtained from FOPEN(), FCREATE(), or
    predefined by DOS.

    <expN2> is the number of bytes to move the file pointer from the
    position as defined by <expN3>.  This can be a positive or negative
    number depending on the direction to move the pointer.

    <expN3> defines the method of moving and is indicated by a value from
    the following list:

                    Methods of Moving the DOS File Pointer
    Method       Description
       0           Beginning-of-file
       1           Current pointer position
       2           End-of-file

    The default method is zero.

Returns

    A numeric value.

    FSEEK() returns the new position of the file pointer relative to the
    beginning-of-file.

Example

    handle = FOPEN("Temp.txt"   
    *                           
    * Get length of the file.   
    length = FSEEK(handle, 0, 2)
    *                           
    * Reset file position.      
    FSEEK(handle, 0)
