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
