StringReplace() error.. How to fix it?

[newbiescripter]

Hello

I'm trying to read a .txt file and if the specific searchstring was found then it should be replaced but it doesn't work :/

What am I doing wrong below?

$text = "test1.txt"

$readtext = FileReadLine($text)

If StringInStr($readtext, "Hello") Then
    StringReplace($text,"Hello","Goodbye")
    MsgBox(1,"Status","Hello was found and has been replaced")
Else
    MsgBox(0,"Status","Hello wasn't found in test1.txt")
EndIf

Regards

First thing, you are trying to perform StringReplace() on $text, which should be $readtext.

Second, if you are expecting this to update your file, it won't. You need to find _ReplaceStringInFile in the User Defined Functions part of the help file.

yes it should update the file so when you open it up the new word is there insted.. I'll try the _ReplaceStringInFile and see if it works
