Description: Replace a Line in a Text File.
AUTHOR: Kvc & Anic17
Call ReplaceLine [File] [LineNumber] [NewLineContent]
Examples: ReplaceLine "Demo.txt" 5 "This is replaced Line."
There are 2 MODES to GET the results... MODE 1: GO INSIDE THE FILE, AND EDIT THAT LINE... MODE 2: REPLACE THAT LINE INSIDE THE FILE...
SYNTAX:
ReplaceLine will automatically, select the MODE whichever is faster for your Given conditions
INFO ABOUT THE MODES: [GET MAX OUT OF THIS UTILITIY] MODE 1 is much faster than MODE 2, as in MODE 2 - we create a new separate file and add the modified line to it at right place and then overwrite existing file (that is why, REPLACE LINE...)
AND
in MODE 1 - we are going to that line and changing its content and exiting, no recreation of the entire file with 99% unchanged rows But, to invoke MODE 1 - it requires 1 special condition as FOLLOWS: CONDITION: Make Sure that the New line must have the same length as of previous line in the file, for compatibility... and you can check the Older line with 'ReadLine' Utility & extract its length with 'getlen'.
For Example: Replacing "Kvc" with "abc" will invoke Method 1.
For Example: Replacing "Kvc" with "TheKvc" will invoke Method 2.
"Notice, the number of characters in both cases."
NOTE: This utility will always choose the most efficient mode to complete the required action.
