    Read part of file

    Problem is read first n-th part of text file. Is there any function to get character count of file or somethink similar? If the file have 48 characters and I want only first half part of the file the result will be 24, whether I want first third part of text file the result will be 16 and so on.
    Please is there some function for this or how to create this function. Thank's.

    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.
