Let's say I already wrote a file and have the following: testing testing testing testing testing testing
Is there an easy way to write something of variable length at the top of the file? For example, 6 testing written testing testing testing testing testing testing I tried to write some garbage on top right after opening the file and then use seek to overwrite the garbage, but since the string to be written can be of variable length, I'm not sure how much garbage I have to write initially. The other way to do what I want is to write the whole thing to a new file, but I want to skip that method if there's an alternative way. Another way of doing it is to buffer the whole file writing into some variable, but that means I have to change 2000+ lines of codes and change fp.write() to something else. Any suggestions please?
