I'm working on a finite state machine that processes a file byte by byte, without loading the entire file into memory. Currently it works in the forward direction, but I'd like to get it working in the reverse direction as well. Currently I make a *bufio.Readerfrom a open file / response body and then use ReadByte() to get each byte from beginning to end.
I'm wondering, what is the best way to get each byte starting from the end and going to the beginning? My first idea to read backwards is to use a combination of UnreadByte() and Peek(1) to read in reverse after advancing the reader to the end. I'd like to avoid reading in the whole file into memory. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
