[Gambas-user] Error in file read when length is a negative value ?

[Vinode Singh Ujlain]

Yes SEEK could help .,. but code becomes longer, I need to read last 5 
bytes from EOF .. I was looking at http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/lang/read?nh

_Variable_ *= READ* [ *#* _Stream_ *,* ] _Length_ *here length can be 
+/- , +ive reads from beginning of file and -ive reads backwards from 
EOF. But that is not happening, ERROR ?*



Warm Regards,
