Writing to a file at a certain position.

Hey all, I checked the faq, and did a search, but I couldnt find any info on writing to a file at a certain position (why does the search not allow words less then 4 characters long?). What I need is to be able to write to a file at the second to last line (before some certain text) in the file, so I can't just append it to the end. Thanks.

*count the lines in the file using a fgets loop
*fseek to the start
*do fgets for total lines-2
*there's your line :)

Thanks, was talking to soemone on AIM, and got it working, but something really strange is happening now, so if we cant figure it out tehn maybe ill post some source for everyone to look at. thanks

ok, i uploaded the soruce, http://www.labino.net/tutorials/cmwierd.zip the problem is around line 270, where instead of just printing 'BLURG' to the end of the file, it prints <question>this is a test <anBLURG

<an is short for <answer>, as it backs up 5 spaces before it prints BLURG. I have no idea why it prints the '<question>this is a test <an' part, as it is not mentioned anywhere in the code. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Maybe fout.ignore(10);

Thanks, but still no luck. Any more ideas?
