Let's say you have a very large file. The file format doesn't really matter. And you want to append some data to the beginning of the file (i.e. "pre-pend"). Is there any way to do this WITHOUT reading the entire file into memory and then re-writing the entire file? I can't think of a way to do it in LabVIEW.

EDIT: I understand there are a lot of "workarounds" to this problem.
Just one of these workaround:
1) Place the data you want to prepend in file A
2) Join A + B where B is the file you want to prepend data to (thinking about using bash command cat).
So: you don't need to read the entire file B in memory, and that's fine.
But you have to rewrite the entire file, sorry.
