replace a line in txt file?

[87450kalle]

Hi,

I am writing a program where I want to replace a specific line in a txt file.

I know the line number that i want to replace but I dont know how to get the program to replace it with my new text line.

Appreciate any suggestions...

; read in the file
$list = FileRead ($filename, FileGetSize ($filename))
If @error = 1 Then
    MsgBox (0, "", "Error reading from " & $filename)
    Exit 1
EndIf

; split into lines
$list = StringSplit ($list, @CRLF, 1)

; replace specific line
$linenum = 50
$list[$linenum] = "This is the text on the replaced line."

; overwrite the file
$handle = FileOpen($filename, 1)

If $handle = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit 1
EndIf

For $i = 1 To $list[0]
    FileWriteLine ($handle, $list[$i])
Next
FileClose($handle)

How's that? Should be fairly self-explanatory I think...

If you know the content of the line you could use _ReplaceStringInFile().
