The read from file command allows you start at a character offset and then read to a string, or for a number of bytes/chars/words/items (see dictionary) or to EOF. The write command will replace from the starting character offset and move the EOF for you. So, in your case, I don't think you have to be exact in your read. Just read in close to the end to EOF and write from the same offset and let the write command handle the EOF for you.
