Command Prompt

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-29 20:00

Hi, noob here, just requesting a bit of info then I'll be out.
I have a file and I want to read a specific number of bytes then delete a similar succeeding amount.
It would then ignore the bytes after that then continue to delete as mentioned.
Sorry if I was unclear. For example, keep 1 byte, delete the next, keep 1, delete next, etc etc.
I'm guessing you could do this through Windows Command Prompt, but how? Many thanks in advance.

Also if it isn't too much trouble, how could I create a file like  this from two sources?
It would read a portion from 1 file then add a portion from another. Supposedly splicing but hey what do I know.

No, the command prompt doesn't have any commands at a low enough level to do specific reads and writes of files like this. Try some scripting language instead, e.g. Python and look at http://www.diveintopython.org/file_handling/file_objects.html.
