What classes/methods can I use to do the following?
1. Open a text file (less than 50k in size)
2. Replace some text in it.
3. Close the text file.
I don't want to have to create a new file in order to accomplish this (i.e.,
I don't want to open it, read to memory, do replacement in memory, delete
original file, write to new file from memory).
Thanks!

Take a look at the BufferedStream class, which I think will do what you
want. The Seek method will allow you to go to a given position and then
you can write to the file with Write.
If you are looking for specific text in the file, you are going to need
to either know exactly where it is (offset) or find it by reading until
you find it.

Jeff,
I think the only way you could accomplish this is in case the length of the
text you want to write equals the length of the text you want to replace.
Then you could treat the file as a stream of characters and Seek() into the
desired position in order to replace the text.
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...sseektopic.asp
Being such small files (<50K) I think the "standard" approach (read from a
file and write into another) could work very fast.

Hi,
Currently we're a building a metadatadriven datawarehouse in SQL

On several website people speak about full transaction log and the
pace of growing can't keep up with the update. Therefore we want to

I use the following code to append a line of text to a text file :
Dim myFILENAME As String = Server.MapPath("/ABACUS/cvdocs/" & fileName)
Dim objStreamWriter As StreamWriter
objStreamWriter = File.AppendText(myFILENAME)
objStreamWriter.WriteLine(csvline)
objStreamWriter.Close()
The code works fine but I need to be a ble to delete the entire contents of
the file as well and I cant figure it out.

This should be most simple to do, and I am doing it elsewhere in the
very same form, but for some reason it is not working in this case.
My form uses a query as its Record Source.
In the form view, I simply want to append some text to the view of
this field in the form using the control source.
The field name is: artist.
This works fine for the control source: artist

After a while of deleting records in a MySQL db, there gets to be the
gaps in the id numbering system. i.e. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 12, and so on.
Is there a way to renumber the id system in a table for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, etc without manually going in and changing those numbers?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
