title: Can you jump a scanner to a location in file or scan backwards?
body: <p>I have a very large text file and I need to gather data from somewhere near the end.  Maybe Scanner isn't the best way to do this but it would be very wasteful to start at the top and grab 6000 lines before getting to the part of the file I am interested in.  Is there a way to either tell Scanner to jump to say 7/8ths down the document or start from the bottom and scan upwards grabbing line by line?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
