I need a little help.
Im trying to learn how to write/edit a whole Line of a File without changing anything else.
Language: LUA Engine(CE)

Lets say my File is located to 'c:/test.txt' and looks like this:

Code:
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText


... now i want to write to Line '6' and edit/replace the whole Line:

Code:
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
Changed
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText
RandomText, RandomText



Does someone has an example for this?

Code:
local line = 1
local output = {}
for s in io.lines('C:\\foo.txt') do
  if line == 6 then
    output[#output+1] = 'Changed'
  else
    output[#output+1] = s
  end
  line = line + 1
end

local f = assert(io.open('C:\\foo.txt','w'))
f:write(table.concat(output, '\n'))
f:close()
