is there any way to reset the position in reading a file? I am making a text adventure and the computer reads a lot of words (word lists, verb lists ect). However, everytime I want to check a new word against one of those lists, I have to close the file and reopen it. Is there any way to simply restart reading at the beginning?

when the program loads, copy the top lines in the file that need to be read later on into another text file. Then when comparing, open the new file, which allows you to keep the main text file open.

Then just before the program closes, delete this new file.
