You can do a fid.seek(offset) prior to np.fromfile() and the it will read from offset. See the docstrings for `file.seek()` on how to use it. -- Francesc Alted _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
