hi - i have a text file that i am using as a database. the format for
each line is such (2 lines shown):
Fashion|508|Text Text
Text.|http://qtbras.com/qtbrascat/images/508_big.jpg|http://qtbras.com/qtbrascat/images/508_thumb.jpg
Fashion|510|Text Text
Text|http://qtbras.com/qtbrascat/images/510_big.jpg|http://qtbras.com/qtbrascat/images/510_thumb.jpg
I'm putting each line into an array, then splitting each value by the
pipe symbol to get individual values. i need to know how to select a
line in the text file and rewrite over it - for example if i wanted to
replace:
Fashion|510|Text Text
Text|http://qtbras.com/qtbrascat/images/510_big.jpg|http://qtbras.com/qtbrascat/images/510_thumb.jpg
with:
Allure|533|Text Text
Text|http://qtbras.com/qtbrascat/images/510_big.jpg|http://qtbras.com/qtbrascat/images/510_thumb.jpg
or something like that, how do i select which line in the text file i
want to replace and write over it? i would prefer not to delete the
line and then write a new one at the end, but if that's the only way,
i'll do it.
thanks
