I am guessing you might be interested in...

IniRead()

If so, See the help file for examples

$sFile = @ScriptDir & '\MyTest.txt'
$sText = FileRead($sFile)
$hFile = FileOpen($sFile, 2)

FileWrite($hFile, StringRegExpReplace($sText, '\r\n', '0'&@CRLF, 9))
FileClose($hFile)

Not a good idea for big files, if applicable.

alternatively, filewriteline() with a for/next loop would also work, and would be the simplest, but would only work if you needed to write the first 9 lines in order and didn't have to edit specific lines, otherwise the ini functions would be best

To replace the first 9 lines with '0':

$sFile = @ScriptDir & '\MyTest.txt'
$sText = FileRead($sFile)
$hFile = FileOpen($sFile, 2)

FileWrite($hFile, StringRegExpReplace($sText, '.*\r\n', '0'&@CRLF, 9)) ; '0'

this would require that you have an array setup with the contents, so it may not be ideal for you, but if it is, this is how it would work:

For $i = 1 to 9
FileWriteLine("yourfilename.txt",$linecontents[$i])
Next
