V allows you to specify a non-zero start of file position - any data before this position will be ignored.

 

To set the start offset, right-click on the position in the file where you want to start viewing from and select View/Layout->StartOffset->StartFromHere

 

Alternatively, you can specify an absolute position by selecting Set Offset from the above right-click menu or from the main View->StartOffset menu.

 

A solid blue line will appear at the top of the file, indicating that a non-zero start offset is being used.

 

Note that the start offset is not "sticky". That is, it is reset to zero once a new file is viewed.

 

This is useful if you want view files with fixed line lengths, but the fixed lines do not begin from the start of the file.
