edit text-file?
i think, i've seen some code to edit only one line in a textfile containing multiple lines in an older topic.
sorry, couldn't find it yet.

could someone post the code here?

and i've recognized, that this function isn't posted in the archive. i think, someone should do that (if noone wants to, i'll do, but i need the code first :)).

thx.

I wonder if it is possible to suppress the display of the renaming an deletion action inside the logging window during replacement of a string (I'm using ReplaceInFile macro from NSIS archive which is similar to the function posted above).

Does anyone know how to do? I'm using NSIS 2.0.

Use SetDetailsPrint to control where and if log text is shown.

hmm, btw, is it possible to ONLY show lines set with "DetailPrint" OR normal lines created by NSIS ??
