Andrew Grieve commented on CB-4487:
-----------------------------------
Okay, think I understand.
The file API is agnostic to the data that it is dealing with. E.g. seek(4)
means 4 *bytes*, and truncate(11) means 11 *bytes*.
It sounds like you want to deal with characters and not bytes, so maybe a
better approach would be to read the entire file (or chunk) as a string, and
use JS's string methods to figure out how many bytes are involved. Note that
this will also depend on what character encoding you're using in your file.
