How to replace text in a file

Hi everyone,
I have a txt file and It has some data's. I want to specifically replace a character in the text file. Data's will be like this,
TT=15
S1ST=21601
S1EN=50400
S2ST=50401
S2EN=72000
S3ST=72001
S3EN=21600
GNST=00000
GNEN=00000
S1B1S=22800
S1B1E=23400
S1B2S=28800
S1B2E=30600
S1B3S=36000
S1B3E=36600
S1B4S=45000
S1B4E=46800
In the 2nd line i.e. S1ST=21601, I want to replace 36000 instead of 21601.
After replacing the specific character, data's should overwrite in the file or appending the file will also ok for me.
Give me a suggestion. I am using LV 8.2. So plz post your code in 8.2 ver
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vijay

    .kep files are SapShow Training Files. They can be played with sapshow.exe in Knowledge Warehouse.
    SAP Show is KW Viewer Application. You can use it to see “Kep” files. It can be run in windows without the SAP environment. To run SAP Show (4.6D version) you just need 3 files. First is SAP show executable file, another two are “Sapstg.dll” and “ZLib.dll”. You can easily find these files on internet.

    how to insert text in existing file.?????You can't "insert" text into an existing file. You can
    overwrite portions of an existing file or extend one by
    writing past the current end of file.
    If you want to insert text into a file you have to write
    out a new file.

  • Find & Replace text in html files

    This is my first real attempt at using Automator, and it has become increasingly frustrating for me. I love the idea of Automator, nice interface, and it appears to be so easy to use. But, I can't get it to actually DO anything and I don't understand why.
    Here is my goal:
    to batch process multiple html files to remove certain characters and words (or replace them with empty space).
    I currently open these files in Pages and do 6 separate Find & Replace commands for each file before I continue with my other processing tasks. This is very tedious and I believe the computer should be able to find & replace multiple items at one time. (I have used other utilities to do batch renaming and trimming file names before.)
    All I want to do is select a group of files (usually 25 at a time) and have Automator get rid of all the unwanted words and characters before I open each file for final processing in Pages. I found a set of Automator actions for TextEdit which includes a Find & Replace action, but I've wasted over an hour so far trying to get it to work.
    When I run the workflow, it acts like it's doing something, but the files remain unchanged. I have tried using actions such as Read Text File, Get Contents of TextEdit Document, Set Contents of TextEdit Document, along with 6 instances of Find & Replace, but I cannot get it to work.
    I'm at a point today where I cannot afford to mess around with this anymore. I have to do it the long way in Pages or else I'll never get it done, but I want to get these Automator workflows to work before I have to repeat this task. (I do this at least once a week right now.)
    Any ideas or suggestions? I've tried reading in the help menus and support pages, but perhaps I'm just not understanding something here.

    Any ideas or suggestions?
    You might be interested in using TextWrangler. It can perform batch find-and-replace changes across multiple selected files.
    Good luck!

  • How to control text for PDF Files in the BI7.0 Broadcaster

    Hi ,
    I am running a web template in the BI7.0 Broadcaster. The output prints in the PDF format. In the precalculation tab I have set up 4 variables(VAR1,VAR2 .. etc) . The main folder where these PDF files get stored I can control the text but dont know how to change the PDF file names which fall into this folder. All the PDF files have the technical name and number(like XXX_00000,XXX_00001 etc.) How can I control the text for these files.
    Thanks,
    Kal

    HI Kal,
    it is not possible to get any influence on the filenames. If you use Filternavigation the filename is generated to be unique.

  • How to justify text in a file?

    How do I right justify text in a file? For example:
    Checking 500
    Savings 50
    Loan 300
    NetWorth 1000
    Insurance 1000
    This is how I want my file to be formatted when it is created. Does anyone know of a way to right justify the numbers? I tried to use the "\t", tab but it doesn't work.
    Thanks

    There is no magical way to do this. Tabs can be treated differently be every editor. You must add spaces between the title and the amount yourself.
    If, however, you are going to display the text file in a JTextPane then you could delimit the title and amount with a tab character and then configure the JTextPane to right justify the amount.

    every time when i using FileOutputStream.write(byte[]) to add text to a file, the old content would be disappear. but my intention is append, not affect the old content. how to?

  • How do I find and replace text in PHP files?

    How can I in CS3 make sitewide changes to the text in PHP pages without changing variable names etc that have the same name?
    For example if I have an installation of a PHP forum and I want to change every instance of the word 'forum' to 'message board'...
    If I used the 'inside tag' search with " as the tag, then if "" contained a variable called 'forum' it would also be changed and therefore corrupt the code....
    Is there a simple way around this?
    Thanks!
    I'm using CS3 on Windows Vista.

    It looks like you're trying to find and replace source code, so you may be able to look at the various places that are looked at when finding and uncheck the ones that don't apply.
    But, if it's all source code then that won't help.  One thing that may work is to expand the search option - for example if the work "forum" that you're wanting to change it preceded by another word, or character or something that sets it apart, then do you find on that. You can expand that search phrase as far out in either direction that you need to to make it different, if of course that is practical in your situation.
    The only other way I can think of is to somehow create an exception rule, but I'm not sure if that's possible or how to do it.

  • Find and Replace text in several files

    Can automator do that?
    I made a website in iweb and as the ones of you that had already tried it must know, it is impossible to change the font format on the links, you have to hack the code manually, changing the .css files.
    I think a trick would be to get automator to replace the code automatically, to lock for a string of text inside a group of files and save it. I just don't know how to do it. Can anybody help?
    The most I have been able to do is to get automator to open all .css files within a folder, inlcuidng all subfolders and open them on textedit.

    I doubt anyone is going to download and look at your code. Please remember that anyone who helps you here is a volunteer, and so the onus is on you to make helping you as easy as possible to do. That means you must take the effort to pare your code down to the bare minimum that shows your problem and compiles, and then post this code here. If you do decide to do this, please use code tags by highlighting your code after pasting it, and then pressing the Code button just above the editor window.
    Good luck.

  • Help with Replacing text in a file using a vbscript

    I have the following script which I am wanting to
    1. Take the prf file and read it
    2. Edit a line in the  outlook .prf file replacing it with the text I have asked it to replace which is the full name of the user pulled from the currently logged on user
    The problem I am seeing is that when the temp file is being generated it is throwing off the formatting of the file hence the script doesn't work. Can anyone help me please.

    Sorry Irv,
    Here is the code I have and then after that is the prf file. I think there is an issue with the file structure because if I take a regular text file and add the lines in there myself it replaces the lines, but with the prf file or even the prf file as a
    text file it gives me the invalid argument message
    Const filePath = "c:\test\test2007_3.txt"
     Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
     Set myFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(filePath)
    fileText = myFile.ReadAll()
    myFile.Close
    fileText=Replace(fileText,"%UserName%","THIS_IS_THS_REPLACEMENT_TEXT")
     Set myTemp= objFSO.OpenTextFile(filePath, 2, True)
     myTemp.Write fileText
     myTemp.Close
