Yeah, for 1 second not done too often I wouldn't worry about making it more
complicated. If your file grows to 400K lines then ...well perhaps. I
learned something here though. I didn't realize that CStringArray was so
inefficient. We're always learning something new.

Thank you ,
My file is small (not more than 150 lines 15 chars each line),
taking me less than 1 sec to proccess this file,
and i don't care about performance.

I have never heard that the memory wasn't released immediately in
CStringArray::RemoveAll(). I do know that deleted memory is often not
reflected in Task Manager for some time and often not until the program
ends, but is actually available for reuse.

Either of the methods suggested would work so long as the file is
reasonable
small (less than the amount of free memory).

Mike,

   We can go for CStringArray in case of less number of lines in a
file.

   AFAIK CStringArray's object memory will not release immediately
after
CStringArrayObject.RemoveAll() called, in case of huge number of lines
in
a file.

   I suggest, Create temporary file and Update modified data into this.
Then Make 0 Kb size for source file then delete it.

   Please correct me If I am wrong.

Regards,
John.

Read file into a CstringArray.
Parse the CstringArray and edit the contents of the CString of
interest.
Write CStringArray back to file.

Hi I am trying to cahnge one line in a TXT file (log file of my
application),
the TXT file already include many line and i try to recognize the
line i
need and then update it with the string i need,
But WriteString looks like it finish fine no fail,
But the TXT file doesn't change .
Here is the code:

CString readLine,CompareResultFile="c:\a.txt";//the file path is just
an
example
CStdioFile LogFile_CStdioFile;
char * full_Log_file_path= (char*)malloc (_MAX_PATH);
int numLines=0;
TCHAR PASS_test[] = _T("Result: PASS");
TCHAR FAIL_test[] = _T("Result: FAIL");

if (!LogFile_CStdioFile.Open(CompareResultFile,
CFile::modeReadWrite ))
{
    return FALSE;
}
while(LogFile_CStdioFile.ReadString(readLine) )
{

sprintf(full_Log_file_path,"%S",readLine.GetBuffer(0));
if(strncmp(full_Log_file_path,"Result:",7))
{
numLines++;
continue;
}
else
{
      if(Status)
      {
        LogFile_CStdioFile.WriteString(PASS_test);
      }
      else
     {
LogFile_CStdioFile.WriteString(FAIL_test);
     }
     break;
}
}
LogFile_CStdioFile.Close();

I need suggestion what is the best way to update one line?
