Hello, first post here :-)
I have the following task: 1) read in a file line by line 2) parse each line with a regular expression, and substitute certain patterns 3) end result: the old file with the substituted stuff (and of course everything which did not need substitution) My question: Do I have to write each line out to a new file, and then rename, or can I substitute "in place" - that the changes are incorporated in the old file automatically?
