in thread How to get fast random access to a large file?

Unfortuantly I don't have any control over the structure of the data file as it's autogenerated by software written by someone else and used by other systems.

The content I can change (like, if it says to print "Mr J Bloggs", change it to "Mrs A Nonimouse") but I can't change the representation.
