Thanks for reply, but seems I have to clarify my question. 'seek' and 'tell' only helping me to target my position within a file handle. Say, if I have a 1MB file, and I just want to over write bytes from 0 to 1000 byte then my job is done, file is supposed to be saved. I want to avoid to rewrite the rest 900KBs again. Would you imagine what I am asking ? Welcome for any further suggestions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
