I have a program that I wrote that reads a file into memory (using readRegionFromFile). This file could be rather large (up to 20 MB), so I'm using globalalloc. The problem is that, when I need to read the file into memory again, unless it has gotten longer or stayed the same length, there will be extra, leftover bytes at the end of the memory region. How can I make sure that it is zero'd before I read? I can use either assembly or lua, either one works. Thanks!

All you need to do is write one 0 at the end of the new filesize. That will terminate textfiles

Hm, I suppose you're right. How, though, can I find the size of the file that I read in? I know I can use writeByte from there to zero-terminate it, but I need to know what address to terminate at.

This lua function will get you the filesize in bytes
