Replacing a line in a file
Jun 20 2011 8:39 AM
Hi
I am trying to find a way to:
1. Edit Data
2. Delete Data
From a file using c#
I read up online and it seems everyone's solution is to rewrite or either recreate the file without the wanted information but I doubt that is the most efficient way...and for what I'm trying to do that just wont work.
Example.
I have a text file with the following Lines
1. TEST2
2. TEST2
3. TEST3
If I want to replace Line 2 with TEST8 it's easy by using
byte
[] bytes =
Encoding
.UTF8.GetBytes(
Environment
.NewLine +
"TEST8"
+
Environment
.NewLine);
fs.Seek(XXX,SeekOrigin.Current);
fs.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
fs.Close();
But if I want to
replace it with "Testing123" it will start overriding the bytes of line 3.
Is there any way it can be done ? can I move the remaining bytes to the right to avoid the override ?
Or is there a easier way to do this ?
Also I would is I would like to completely Delete a line from the file.
Thx
Rousseau
