Yes, almost certainly. That's what both Steve and I were alluding to in our earlier responses, you were incrementing by 1 byte but reading more than one byte so there was a high probability of you reading past the end. But subtracting 7 is only the correct answer if you are always reading 8 byte blocks, if you are reading different length blocks (for int/short/char etc) then you might need to do some kind of dynamic check based on sizeof(chunk)... if index+sizeof(chunk) > end data = read(chunk) else break -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
