Replace First Line

[iceberg]

Hi,

I know it is possible to replace a line in a text file. But how do I perform the following:

1) Hundreds of text files in a folder

2) Need a script to "open" up each of them so that the first line all those files can be modified.

Please help. Thanks.

Look at FileFindFirstFile() and FileFindNextFile() in the Beta help file, then store them into an array, and perform what you want in order with a loop on each file with whatever method your using to replace the first line. Maybe even _FileWriteToLine() would help.

With this little script you can see a list of your files.

#Include <File.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
$FileList=_FileListToArray('C:\Program Files', '*.*', 0) ;set your folder
_ArrayDisplay($FileList,'$FileList')oÝ÷ ØZ+Ê«)Êj{¬{tß¡bââ²Ý7õ«­¢+Ù5Í ½à À°Ìäí9յȽ¥±ÌÌäì°ÀÌØí¥±1¥ÍÑlÁt¤íÑÉäÀÌØí¥±1¥ÍÑlÅt°ÀÌØí¥±1¥ÍÑlÉtѸ

Look at helpfile (BETA I think) and you're surely be able to write this script on your own.
