Can anyone of you guide me?

What is it that you're really trying to accomplish?

If you're trying to get the job done, editing a file is fours steps

read original-file
modify data
write new-file
rename new-file to original-file

If on the other hand this is a homework assignment, read open, Tie::File, and most important, ask your teacher what you're supposed to learn from this exercise; you're cheating yourself by asking us.

Hello, No this is not an homework assignment.I know that we can write to a new file,but i was just wondering if we can rewrite into the same file and just replace that particular value.	[reply]
