Changing a word in a .txt document with VB.net

[spazzo6281]

Hello, does anybody out there know how to change a single word in a text document. Right now I'm using VB.net to read a word in a text document (it's the only word in there), I would like to be able to change that word using visual basic. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The code that i'm using to read the word is

My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(file path)

. I have nothing written yet for changing the word. I really don't know how to go about doing that part.

I wud:...

1. Read the whole file
2. process it in vb
3. truncate the file
4. write the new data back to the file

Thanks for you help but for some reason I just can't figure it out. This is the code i have so far:

my.computer.filesystem.readalltext("I:\msctc moorhead archive\word.txt")

This is reading the text document that contains the word "test"

How would I go about changing that word using textboxes in VB.net.

I have gotten the code figured out. This is what it wound up being:

Dim text1 As String = txtOldP.Text
            Dim text2 As String = txtNewP1.Text
            Dim pword As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("I:\MSCTC Moorhead Archive\word.txt", System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII)
            My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("I:\MSCTC Moorhead Archive\word.txt", pword.Replace(txtOldP.Text, txtNewP1.Text), False)

Thanks to those who helped.
