Virtually same as you Vulpes - I downloaded my own file no problems

Vulpes · Answer

For some unknown reason I can't load Frogleg's code and so don't know how he's done it. But if the file is not too big the easiest way to replace a line is as follows: using System; using System.IO; class Program { static void Main() { string filePath =whatever.txt; string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(filePath); // replace 12th line with something else and overwrite original file lines[11] = something else; File.WriteAllLines(filePath lines); } }

I see you changed the question a little. Please do you need to add a line or replace a line?

Mike Jonson · Answer

I need to delete the line and add a new line. How better? Or better creat arraylist reading lines from file in array change line and than writing in file?

Sam Hobbs · Answer

You cannot  add a line  without reading all the data that will follow it and then writing the new data followed by the old data. There are other options such as creating an entirely new file but you cannot update the file in place as you hope to do.
