Any way to extract certain bytes from the remote file? (Thursday, September 02, 2004)

Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Any way to extract certain bytes from the remote file? by:joe@doprocess-dot-com.no-spam.invalid (Vjay77)
I posted this question, but I pressed 'post' and it disappeared. So once again: Problem: I need to go to lets say www.site.com/page.html Imagine that this html code is 6 mb long. I need to extract information between bytes 5000 and 5020. So, obviously problem is, that I do not want to download the whole 6 mb file to extract only 20 bytes. I will need to do this maybe thousands times a day and I can't afford to create such traffic. Is there a way to extract from remote file using exact position? Something which would simulate steps: - go to www.site.com/page.html - open file for reading - jump to byte x - read y number of bytes - retrieve result - close file Is there any way of doing this? Please help me. Vjay

	Is this file actually on a web server?

	If so, look into HTTP resuming - IF the web server supports it. There is vb6 source code that shows how to do this at http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=10926&lngWId=1 ..
