Hi
Is there any way to update the specified line in the file with the new
line without having to copy the entire contents once again. Since the
file is huge, i dont want to re-write the file. Can anyone suggest me
how to do this
If the line you are replacing is the same size as the new one, it can be done.
(If it's smaller, you can pad its end with spaces.) Otherwise, you'll have to
rewrite the entire file.
