Sorry for always replying to the main thread, i have not subscribed to the list, so my "in-reply-to" headers are not correct.
its more like a circular array i guess. i needed to parse a binary file and look for 512 byte headers. so i keep storing each byte in a 512 byte circular array and here i have the last 512 bytes read, which i check under certain conditions against the header pattern. to match against the header pattern i would need to see if header[1] != 0 etc. hence the requirement for an efficient getLast( offset) method. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
