Hi all,
I have a requirement like this. I have started reading a file from the beginning. Say i am in 10th record after some processing. Now I wish to go back and read from the beginning again. Is this possible?
Your help is appreciated! |

You probably dont want to go back and read the beginning all over again.
Please describe your process and which part of this process requires re-reading some or all of the input.
This is definitely not an acceptable approach for matching 2 files. |

Morning Sir !
But if you really want to do this, for whatever reason, just close the file and open it ones more and start reading |

Hello,
Suggest you do NOT close/open the file until the requirement is better understood. . .
FWIW - the last several times someone asked how to do this, they intended to "start back at the beginning" so they could match 2 files. Probably the worst possible way to implement such a requirement. |

| I remember i had a similar requirement . To avoid multible start browse and going forward and going backwards , what i did was put all the required variables of each record in a array . Then used this array for processing . But array is only effective for small amount of data and other constraints are there which can be cleared once Prema gives the full requirements. |

What is posted so far by OP may be a way to achieve what s/he wants but not the optimum way for sure. Once the requirement is understood ..some one will be around with a better suggestion.. |

Should agree with above posts.
I think the solution would be some thing like this. Sort the file based on the field that is used for mathcing and then just use less than or greater than condition to browse through the file.
I am sorry if I misunderstood the requirement.
Can you elaborate on it if this problem is still open. |
