I thought that was going to do it, but trying to read through the remainder
of the file failed with the script returning only the first ~n characters repeatedly
without setting pointers and progressing on through the file.
--I tried
set p2d to (path to desktop folder as text)
set fpath to p2d & "aaa.txt"
try
repeat
set fd to open for access fpath
set d1 to read fd for 1000
set d2 to read fd until space
--close access fd
set res to d1 & d2
set x to {res, length of res}
display dialog x as string
end repeat
on error
try
close access fd
end try
end try
Thanks
Joe
