Wow, your response to Mr. Smolarek was a bit harsh, even though is
response to you was harsh as well.  Hmm

Anyway, you'll have to read each line in and parse it and write it out,
modifying the appropriate line.  You already have the parsing done or
you'd not be able to send the confirmation and search for lost
passwords.

You read each line, parse it, inspect it to see if it is the appropriate
line to modify and modify it accordingly, then write it out to a temp
file.  Keep doing that until you've gone through all of the lines, then
remove the original file and move the temp file into its place.

Oh boy... here we go! This should fire up some creativity. This first book should be 
the Random House Dictionary of the English Language (-; Followed by the Llama book. 
Followed by a great list of resources for solving this type of problem easily.

my 2 cents early,
Mark Bergeron
