Good morning all,
I'm really new to this so your patience is appreciated.
I want to read through a file, line by line, and then, if a line contains a certain character, substitute a diffent character and then re-write the line back into the file.
I've pretty much figured out how to do that.
However, I would like to use (I think) the while/endwhile loop control.
I would like to say something like the following, but I can't quite figure out how to write it.
while (the file is not at the "end of file") <= How should this statement be written ?
Do stuff <== This I have figured out
endwhile;
Thanks a whole lot, for any suggestions.

Which function are you using to read from the file? It should have a special return code to indicate end of file.
You may also want to look at sample "Search and Replace a String in a File" at http://www.installsi...en/isp_comp.htm

Good morning Stephan,
I am using FileGrep.
AND, your suggestion to "check out the sample search and replace a string in a file" code, did the trick for me.
I now have things working as I had envisioned.
Your replies kind sir, (you have helped me in the past) are truly appreciated.
Thanks again.

I'm glad you got it working.
FYI FileGrep return values:
END_OF_FILE (-4) The end of file was reached without finding the search string.
