file_skip_words (file, offset, nwords)
The file_skip_words object returns the offset in bytes of a location after skipping nwords in an ASCII file . The words must be separated by spaces.
To read the third integer on line 10 in the ASCII file, data :
file data_file {
name = "data";
};
/* skips 9 lines */
int line_offset=> file_skip_lines (data_file, 0, 9);
int offset => file_skip_words(data_file, line_offset, 2);
int value => file_scalar_ascii(file_file , offset, 3);
