How can I rename something in a .txt file?

[sosimple]

I have a .txt file . Somewhere in it , it has:

password=blabla

code=blublu

How can I rename this to

password=blabla2

code=blublu2

?

Perhaps I should use IniRenameSection command , but I cant find how? ...

You have to edit the file. If the file format corresponds to INI format, then you can use IniWrite() to update a param.

Natively, you would read the file into a variable, replace text as necessary, then write the modified variable contents to the old file name.

Too scary? Write to a new file, then on success, backup or delete the previous file.

There is also a UDF floating around that contains examples of how to get access to the file pointer, allowing for in-place file edits.
