Hi all, Do any of you know an efficient way to scan a text file backward from the end in scilab? I want to load into scilab text data (a footer) that is situated in a file after a big binary blob of variable length (a huge tiff image). For the moment I scan line by line from the top and test whether it looks like the start of the footer. It works but it is terribly slow as I have to scan the whole binary blob. Any idea on how I could do the same more efficiently using only scilab functions (to stay portable for my colleagues running scilab on Windows)?
Cheers, Antoine _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@lists.scilab.org http://lists.scilab.org/mailman/listinfo/users
