You have to know the layout of the binary file. If you designed the binary file, it's easy, what ever record size you wrote. Record sizes in binary files are not like record sizes in DB2 files. If you have a 1024 record that you write, you can merrily read back records as 1025 bytes. And the second record will start one character off, the third 2 characters off, etc... If you don't know the record layout, I use hexedit myself, a free PC utility to look at the byte values of files.

How do you know "Record Size"?
