foreach (string strLine in AllLines)
{
if (strLine.Contains("CUsers") || strLine.Contains("_ags"))
{
fIndex = strLine.IndexOf(strStart);
sIndex = strLine.LastIndexOf("_ags");
temp = strLine.Remove(fIndex + 2, (sIndex - fIndex) + 2);
newFile.Append(temp + "\r\n");
continue;
}
newFile.Append(strLine + "\r\n");
}
File.WriteAllText(FileName, newFile.ToString());

if you want to just replace any character then use below code..

may be it will help you

StringBuilder newFile = new StringBuilder();
string temp = "";
string[] AllLines = File.ReadAllLines(FileName);
strStart = "<";
foreach (string strLine in AllLines)
{
if (strLine.Contains("CUsers") || strLine.Contains("_ags"))
{

//strLine=strLine.Replace("Your character"," replacing character");
strLine=strLine.Replace("<","'"); //apostrophe
continue;
}
newFile.Append(strLine + "\r\n");
}
File.WriteAllText(FileName, newFile.ToString());

I'm not 100% clear what you're asking but if you want to replace all apostrophes in the file with some other character, c say, you could replace this line:

File.WriteAllText(FileName, newFile.ToString());

with this one:

File.WriteAllText(FileName, newFile.Replace('\'', c).ToString());
