hi all,
Have a problem i need help with asap.
Say i have a file on the end users machine. foo.txt
In this file are like 6 lines
#define blah
#define boo
#define jediknight2isawsome
#define goo
#define woo
#define black
I have a "addon" install that will have to go into a txt file and remove the "#" sign in front of a define.
I cant seem to find out how to do this. And I cant use the command that searches by Line numbers, as the line numbers my change..
Is there a command that i can give say "#define goo" and it will find that line and let me replace/remove/add a character?
Can anyone help?

No, IS doesn't have a direct find/replace of text file content.
Therefore, you'll probably have to resort to reading in the file line by line, modifying the line if necessary, and writing the new line back out a temp file. Once you've exhausted all the lines, delete the original file and rename the temp one to match the original.

Hi,
please have a look at this (zipped) script:

You'll find it here at http://www.installsite.org
Navigate to "IS5/6 Samples" --> "Components and Files".
