Hi,

does it exist a command to write a string to a specific line in a text file

thanks

I'm not sure if there is, but if there is no simple way to do it then one workaround is to:

• read the previous lines from the file into a variable,
• add the new line to the end,
• read the remaining lines from the file into the variable and then
• write the output back to the file.

Edit: this technique will only work if you know which line number you wish to work with. Edited July 22, 2005 by LxP

Can you explain your problem alittle better ?

Do you know the infomation or any keyword that would only be displayed on this specific line.
