There's a simple solution to know the size of an array in Pd vanilla (it has been posted on this list before). If your array is called example, send a bang to [expr size("example")]
That's great!! I didn't know that, and I so often needed it! Thanks a lot.
However in this case, when you read the numbers from a file, you must count them _prior_ to storing them into the array. Or is there a way to send a list of numbers to an array and have it automatically resize to the list length?
If you have a list like [34 46 23 ...( and a [table mytab]. Then [list length] -> [resize $1( -> [s mytab] should help. Then you send a message [0 34 56 23 ...( -> [s mytab]. ++

Thanks all,
I have summed up the ideas and created an abstraction containing [textfile] with an extra counter to keep track of the pointer. When requested to step back, it first gates the output, rewinds, then bangs [textfile] until it reaches the one previous position.
This is probably least efficient among the mentioned solutions, but is compact in size while maintaining compatibility with other messages understood by [textfile].
I will post it here if I the performance reasonable in my project.
