Hi Goodies,
Hello,
(Goodies???)
I have a situation where in, iam updating a file by replacing few
strings in some lines with another string. While doing this, Can i have
an option by which i could open a file for both read and write
simultaneously, so that i could search and replace the string straight
away..??
Yes you can do that. However, if the replacement strings are not the same
size as the original strings then it could get a bit complicated (to say the
least!) At a minimum you will have to know about seek() and tell().
