Re: [MacPerl] Only read the first 30 lines of a file?

[w e b s l a v e <PPRODOEHL@qgraph.com>]

If you just want to grab a chunk from the beginning of the file,
this might also be an option...

  $file = "Mac HD:foo.txt";
  open (FILE, "<$file");
  read(FILE,$buffer,256);
  close (FILE);

$buffer now holds the first 256 bytes of the file, you can put the 'read'
in a loop to read more if neccessary...
