To reset the read mode during file operations:

Use the [File->SetMode] method to change the read mode. The example below starts in File_ModeLine mode, reads the first line of myfile.txt, moves to line five, changes to File_ModeChar mode, and then reads the next 16 characters.

Code

local(file = file('myfile.txt', File_OpenRead, File_ModeLine)
#file->Read(1)
#file->SetPosition(5)
#file->SetMode(File_ModeChar)
#file->Read(16)
#file->Close
