Hello,
With the help of "seek" I can start "readBin" from any byte offset within my
file that I deem appropriate.
What I would like to do is to be able to define the endpoint of that read as
well. Is there any solution to that already out there?
Sure: just use the "n" parameter to readBin. This will work for any
type except character, but it doesn't make sense to read those in a
given range: what do you do if the last one is not zero terminated? If
you want the end of block to count as a terminator, then read the block
as raw, add a null to the end, and then re-read the raw vector.
