Where is seek method for FileReader of Phonegap 2.2.0?

Question

I need a method like FileWriter.seek(offset) for FileReader.

I searched a lot but didn't found any thing? It is so strange for me that FileWriter has seek method, but FileReader does not have it! I wanna read the 1MB within a 100MB file. I really don't wanna load the whole file.

Answer 1

There is no seek method for the FileReader. It is not part of the W3C specification for the FileReader interface.

Update: As of PhoneGap 2.4.0 the File.slice() method will be implemented so you should pretty much get what you want from that.
