> how to slice a large file? can you help me Not sure why this was closed without any response but the (now defunct) W3C spec as far as I am aware doesn't define any support for random read access, and thus the implementation doesn't expose a way to read a slice of a file. It can only read a file from start to finish. You could slice a file once you have the arraybuffer, but you may need to load the entire file in memory which might not be suitable if you're dealing with large files. If random read/write access is necessary, then it may require forking the plugin, or creating a plugin that can interface with the native APIs for random reads/writes to accommodate slicing. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
