Replacing line with a new file in a file
Hi,

I have a txt file which contains:

Apple is red.
Orange is orange.
Banana is yellow.
Strawberry is red.

-eof-


How do I go about replacing "Banana is yellow" with "Cherry is red"? I tried to use seekp to get the position of Banana and replace that line but unable to.

Please advise. Thanks.
