hello
I use visual basic 6.0.
I want to read file twice.
First i read file then i don't know how to move the file pointer to the start point.
i don't want to close file and reopen.
example)
Open InputFileName For Input As #1
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, line
...
Wend
'move file pointer to the start point
'i don't know this
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, line
...
Wend
Close #1
thanks for reading

out of curiosity, why do you need to read the file twice?

Cyberdaemon
I'm developing a verifying program.
for example ) test.txt, 1, 1, 1, "F", 5, 5, 6, "TT" ...
test.txt : file name to verify
1 : line number of the file
1 : start offset of line
1 : end offset of line
"F" : compare data
5 : line number of the file
5 : start offset of line
6 : end offset of line
"TT" : compare data
First i open test.txt file
and search line
and if "Mid (line, start offset, end offset) = compare data " is ture, then print true
and repeat
It's line number is not sorted
It's the reason i read file repeatedly
You have any other good idea?
Tom Lee.
Pretty sure this is what you're looking for.
As for other ideas, there are probably plenty of things you could do. For one thing, even though the operating system does caching to avoid having to physically read the disk repeatedly, still file IO is fairly "expensive" . One way to get around this would be to load each line of the file into an array. You can either do this as you go through doing your comparison, or load it up at the start, all in one go, then just use the array instead of the file.
On the other hand, if you're talking about a small file and speed is not a major concern, you could just close the file and reopen it to start reading again from the beginning. But the Seek will be better than that approach.
You da man Killer42!
(Your suggestion worked for me too, and your high IQ is appreciated.)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
