Problem: Reading and editing text file data

[dipeshtech]

I have a text file having data something like:

ww1
ww2
ww3
ww4

I want to search for a particular string in this file, so i am reading this file. When the word is found say "ww3" , i wish to edit that entry to something like $$ww3 or ( add anything). I tried using pos() and seek(), but it's deleting all text data from file leaving one or two chars.

I would like to know some way to do this. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Rewrite the entire file:

(Psuedocode, you would use QFile for this)

while (!eof(file))
{
   str = readlinefromfile();
   if (str == "ww3") writelinetofile("$$ww3"); else writelinetofile(str);
}

while (!eof(file))
{
   str = readlinefromfile();
   if (str == "ww3") writelinetofile("$$ww3"); else writelinetofile(str);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
