last record by key
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 7:55 am
Is there any easy fast way to read the last record in a file by key??
It's been years since I've needed to do this, but can't you just:
READ #fileno1,using form$(fileno),LAST:mat f$,mat f
If you want to traverse the entire file backwards;
RESTORE #fileno,LAST:
Loop:
READ #fileno,using form$(fileno),PRIOR:mat f$,mat f
