Re: Changing a line in a text file

Hi, the example provided by Vishnu is quite close to what I want but it still required me to write all the data back to the file. Is there any way where I can just write a particular line? Regards, Kah -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Changing a line in a text file

How do I change a line in a file?? For example I have the follwing text in my file: line1 line2 line3 line4 How do I replace 'line2' with 'newline'. Since the write operation in python will overwrite everything. Regards, Kah -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
