fsFileSeek (Function)

fsFileSeek will move the FILE data pointer to an address offset. The function is used for data addressing in the file before read or write operations. All data is addressed as 8 bit, and after each successful read or write operation, the file data pointer is automatically incremented.

Input:                

fd : FILE

FILE descriptor for the file retrieved from fsFileOpen or fsFileCreate.

offset : DINT

Offset from start of file to move the data  pointer to.

Returns: INT

Declaration:

FUNCTION fsFileSeek : INT;
VAR_INPUT
   fd     : FILE;
   offset : DINT;
END_VAR;

Example:

...
IF fsFileExists(name := "\gpslog.dat") THEN
   fdGpslog := fsFileOpen(name := "\gpslog.dat");
   IF fsFileStatus(fd := fdGpslog) = 0 THEN
      // Is file empty?
      IF fsFilePosition(fd := fdGpslog) > 0 THEN
         rc := fsFileSeek(fd := fsGpslog, offset := 0);
         IF rc = 0 THEN
            // Iterate file
            REPEAT
               // Read data fields
               len1 := fsFileRead(fd := fdGpslog, buffer := ADDR(linsec), length := SIZEOF(linsec));
               len2 := fsFileRead(fd := fdGpslog, buffer := ADDR(lat), length := SIZEOF(lat));
               len3 := fsFileRead(fd := fdGpslog, buffer := ADDR(lon), length := SIZEOF(lon));
               // Is data valid?
               IF len1 = SIZEOF(linsec) AND len2 = SIZEOF(lat) AND len3 = SIZEOF(lon) THEN
                  // Data is read
                  ...
               END_IF;
            UNTIL len1 <> SIZEOF(linsec) OR len2 <> SIZEOF(lat) OR len3 <> SIZEOF(lon)
            END_REPEAT;
         ELSE
            // Error
         END_IF;
      ELSE
         // No data
      END_IF;
      fsFileClose(fd := fdGpslog);
   ELSE
      // Could not open file
   END_IF;
ELSE
   // File dont exist
END_IF;
