Hi,

I have an existing ASCII file.
I need to search for a value in the file and then replace the value by
another one.

Is this possible or do i have to re-write the whole file ?

Thanks.

If both strings (replaced & replacing ) are of the same length you could
replace it in-place.
Otherwise you will have to rewrite the complete file.

I advise you for the second solution just in case and to be future-proof.
