you could read the data from file, edit what you want, store the data into some sort of variable(write it to an array of strings or one large string), and rewrite the file over the old file.

well, it's getting so tiresome now. there was a thread the other day, with a similar question, and about 2 minutes after it was created the poster added "answer immediately" to it

honestly, people, this is free support. take what you're given, as and when it's given

> i want to update the existing file.> give me some code sample.You can do what was told in reply #1.If you want to update your file, delete the old file and make a new file with same name. When you prorgram exits it still looks like you updated the file.

I suggest you look for the line you want to replace by reading the file that you want to edit/update... Try using the RandomAccessFile Class. =)
