Delete something from a file

[Gordon_G]

Is this possible to remove a string from a file ?

[Hale]

Please be more specific. Is string.gsub what you're looking for?

@Hale  Sorry, you're right, I hav'nt explained this very good.

So, for exemple I've file 'something.txt', and in this file I've this : "I like donuts", and, I would like to remove 'I ' from this string. So, I can use string.gsub, yes, but, how to set it to the file ? 'Cause fileWrite can only add a string to a file, it can't replace it.

u can use it first then u can use file write

and if you want to get pos of i in  i like donuts then u should do loop for string in the target file then u can break the loop

and get the pos of file
