Hi Ondro,

When it is a textfile on disk and you want to change 1 character you have to
read in completly first in memory and write that back.

You can do that reading and writing line by line or by reading the complete
file and writing the complete file. There are no other alternatives.

(When you not use any kind of database)

I hope this helps

This is only possible if the new line has the same length as the old line.
