Hello guys,
I want to read the PE information from specific exe file, and this required to read from specific address from the file and must specify the length of the data required to read.

So, How can I read from specific address from the file?

The reason of my demand is to save memory. ( I want to store the data in the stack)
Note: the function I used is ReadFile() and CreateFile().
