Hmmm ... that should do it, thanks. But how would one use this on a file
without reading it into memory completely?
?file, ?readLines, ?readBin
will tell you about connections.

Do you mean like regexpr() (on the same help page)?
Depending on your locale, you might actually prefer the character
offset: if you want to match in a MBCS and have byte offsets you will
need to work a bit harder if useBytes=TRUE is not sufficient for you.

Hi,
Is there any way of doing 'grep' ore something like it on the content of
a text file and extract the byte positioning of the match in the file?
I'm facing the need to access rather largish (>600MB) XML files and would
like to be able to index them ...
Thanks for any help or flogging,
Joh
