MG29, this doesn't work. It will still write the new line after the line (I matched). Everytime I read a line from a file, the $fd gets incremented, so when I say fwrite, $fd is already pointing to the next line in the file? Any suggestions as to working around this? I can't rewrite the entire file (design time controls on page, they wouldn't work if I did). As soon as I fix the Cascading Style Sheet line, I want to get out of the file. -----Original Message----- From: GaguWD [mailto:larenga2985@yahoo.com.ar] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 6:17 PM To: Gerardo Rojas Subject: RE: Writing to a file You should use regex (regular expressions) to do this, because is simpler. You can get the contents of the files into a variable: <? $file = "any_file.txt"; $op = fopen($file,"w+"); if($op) { while(!feof($op)) { $read .= fread($op,1024); } } if(preg_replace("/something i don't want/i",$sthiwant,$read)) { echo "It's done!"; } else { echo "Something didn't work, complain to the person who gave you this code ;-)"; } ?> Hope it helps! Byes!

The problem is that I want to replace a line of text with another line. My function is actually writing my new line after the line I wanted to change. Can we do arithmetic on the $fd (file handle or file descriptor)? To tell PHP to write where ( $fd - 1 ) points to? -- Gerardo S.
