how to go to a given position ?

[Sébastien Kirche]

Hi,

would like to try msgcodes.el from ell, but it fails at load-library :

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax "?")
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "msgcodes" nil t)
  ;;; Reading at buffer position 12618
  load-with-code-conversion("/Users/seki/.elisp/msgcodes.el" "msgcodes" nil nil)
  load("msgcodes")
  load-library("msgcodes")
  call-interactively(load-library)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command)

How to go to that position 12618 to look for the error ?
Is there a better solution than C-u 12618 C-f from the top of the file ?
i am not sure that this position is right with the line endings.

Thanks.

PS : it seem that a correcting patch was given by its author

M-x goto-char is probably what you are looking for.

*gosh* i looked  for goto-line and goto-address, but i  don't know how i
missed goto-char... I need more cafeine.
