Hi Folks, I can't imagine a text data format in which the text doesn't start until after n bytes (or n bits). That is, I can't see the need for leadingSkip in a text data format. Is there a use case for leadingSkip in text data formats? If leadingSkip doesn't apply to text data formats, then why do I have to specify it?
However, I can imagine an island of text embedded in a binary data format: the text doesn't start until after n bytes (or n bits). Yes? Likewise, I can't imagine a text data format in which there is some text and then the next text is after n bytes (or n bits). That is, I can't see the need for trailingSkip in a text data format. Is there a use case for trailingSkip in text data formats? If trailingSkip doesn't apply to text data formats, then why do I have to specify it? However, I can imagine islands of text embedded in a binary data format: there is an island of text and then the next island of text doesn't start until after n bytes (or n bits). Yes? /Roger
