# SEEK

SEEK # File , Position

Defines the position of the stream pointer, for the next read/write operation.

If Position is negative, then the stream pointer is moved relatively to the end of the file.

To move the stream pointer after the end of the file, you must use the Lof() function.

Example

    ' Move to the beginning of the file
    SEEK #hFile, 0

    ' Move after the end of the file
    SEEK #hFile, Lof(#hFile)

    ' Move 100 bytes before the end of the file
    SEEK #hFile, -100
