Hi, here is the situation i have : i have a long list of files in a directory. i have to search and replace a particular pattern in each file. since a file cannot be read and written to at the same time, what's the best way of doing the search and replace ? i take this approach of doing the search and replace and then writing the contents into a new temporary file. then i close both the files. thereafter i write the contents of the temporary file into the original file.
i am sure, there is a better efficient way of doing it. can anybody let me know. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
