Subject: Backtracking through a file

IO.gets steps through a file one line at a time. However, I cannot
figure out how to (once i find something i need in the file) go
backwards line by line through that file until i find something else. I
thought possibly setting IO.lineno to the line before the current line
that would work, but I think I just misunderstood what lineno was for.
Anyone know a good way to do this?

Thanks
