Using the seek function to go to a certian byte range

ReddyfireReddyfire Posts: 3Member
So I'm trying to use the seek function to seek a couple of lines of the file without going to the end of the file. Just trying to stay within a certain byte range. Here is my code.

print "content-type: text/html

open (FILE, "< file.txt") or die("File not found");
seek FILE, 21,0;

What would I need to do to only stay within a certain byte range and display the text only in that byte range without going to the end of the file. I have looked all over but can't seem to figure out how to do this without going to the end of the file.
