Inserting String in middle of File

[Lost User]

I want to modify a text file programmatically. Suppose it is huge in size and my desired operation on it is to modify it by adding some text in middle of File. Is there any other except the traditional one, I always use i.e. to insert the string and shift all the rest that follow the string. Can some1 please tell me a fast method other than it.

It depends what you mean by 'modify'. If you are inserting new text then no, there is no other way than rewriting everything after the new string. If you are just modifying existing text then you can overwrite the part of the file you are interested in.

u could always read the file, split it in half where u want to write then rewrite that to the file in the order u want i am also curious as to how to change where the file is being written/overwritten to
