_FileWriteToLine

is there a better function than this? it becomes very slow when you have 10,000 lines. Isnt there a way you can just overwrite exactly line #5000

Have an example of how you are using it? How slow it is? How fast you "think" it should be? Any attempts on your behalf of re-writing it?

Yes

FileClose(FileOpen("File.txt",2));this line creates and erases the contents of file.txt
$h_file = FileOpen("File.txt",1)

For $intcount = 1 To 10000
    FileWriteLine ( $h_file, "This is line " & $intcount & " of the file i am writing to.")
Next
FileClose($h_file)

Open the file at the beginning and then close the file at the end. _FileWriteToLine() opens and closes the file each time you use it, i believe.

Im using it to store large amounts of numbers.

I use the last 4 digits to decide which line the ID will be added too.

$content = FileReadLine($file, $line)
                $content = $content & " " & $Array[$i]
                _FileWriteToLine("file.txt", $line, $content, 1)

and i use it in a until phrase that will usually repeat 40 times. It takes about 5 seconds.

but i think thats because it has to take the whole file each time and count all 10,000 lines.

if i can get the function to work with a file that is already open and write 40 lines to it while its open i think that would save alot of time.

I am having a hard time figuring out what you are trying to do. Can you please post the whole script so that i can take a better look at it?

Thank you for the tip

DON'T use _FileWriteToLine for this. Read in the whole file (_FileReadToArray), then

replace the 40 lines in the array($file_lines[$line] = $content). At the end write the whole file

(_FileWriteFromArray). That should reduce the required amount of time dramatically!
