Thread: getting the beginig of a line in a textfile

hi

i trying to get from anywhere in text to the beginning of the line. i wrote this litle piece of code (just an extract from my prog):

Code:

while((tmppos!=apos) && (c=fgetc(fr))!='\n') {		
						fseek(fr,-2,SEEK_CUR);
						fgetpos(fr,&tmppos);
					}

in size_t apos is stored the begining of the text, to make sure i wont read to far. i need tmppos to check that.

any idea?

thanks
