Subject: Need help with binary file question...
 
I am new to binary files. I am trying to read a file which is over 15 meg in
size. Each record is 404 bytes long. When I read 82 records into the file, I
get an error #15 (string length too long) using this command "GET$ 1, 
Position,
A$"
When A$ exceeds the 32750 limit, then the error pops up. Is there some way to
reset A$ back to 0 and read another 32750 bytes into file from the point 
here
the first seek ended.
 
By the way, I am using PB3.5
 
Any help is greatly appreciated!
