That I know, calling fgets() 3 times would put the file pointer at the start
of the 4th. line. However, fread() "won't let you decide the position from
which the acquisition begins.." according to my help book. Perhaps the
filepointer is in the right spot, perhaps not. fread() requires an fseak()
file pointer to offset the start of the file to where you want to begin
reading.
I hope this helps.
