Is anyone using PureBasic (demo or full version)?
I'm actually working on a little program made in it and I have a little problem:

I wanted the program to show up a window with several buttons where you can choose from a few functions. The window and the buttons work, but I wanted the program to open a pre-defined TXT file and only change (specified by the button functions) one numeric value of one certain line and save all the new settings.

So I want to ask: Can anyone tell me how to change one little value in a TEXT file?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!

What you would have to do is read the complete file into memory, find the appropriate line & value and change it and re-save everything.

It may be worth writing a routine that reads in text lines in the format :

<key>=<value>

It would then be easy to change on thing, although you would always have to re-write the complete file, unless...

Its binary data, whereby you could just change the file pointer and update the data there.
