Thanks for both replies, but they do not answer my question.I am well aware of hundreds of possible ways how to edit a text fileusing shells, sed, awk, C, C++, Java or any other possible tool.
My question was "is there a way how to do it in KWrite?"Or in any other KDE based GUI editor?
I hope this explanation clears the confusion.
CheersFrank
