In place replacement of text in a file in Python

Question

I am using the following code to upload a file on server using FTP after editing it:

import fileinput

file = open(\'example.php\',\'rb+\')

for line in file         


        

Answer 1

The second error is how the replace() method works.

It returns the entire input string, with only the specified substring replaced. See example here.

To write to a specific place in the file, you should seek() to the right position first.

I think this issue has been asked before in several places, I would do a quick search of StackOverflow.

Maybe this would help?
