built-in file insertion routine?

[Ken Kafieh]

I am getting better at navigating the Java documentation.
I was looking to see if there was a built in routine for inserting text into
the middle of a file.
I have about given up looking. So before I start to implement an insertion
routine from scratch, can someone give me a hint if maybe I missed something
and should keep looking?

No, no such thing exists.

It has to be done either by writing a new file up to the insert point,
writing the insertion, then writing the rest. Alternatively, you read
all the pieces into ram and do the same thing, of possibly do the
combing in RAM and write the thing out as in one i/o.


You then delete the old file and rename the new file to it.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/fileio.html for how to create the i/o.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/temporaryfile.html for how to create a
file in the same directory that can be easily renamed the original.

If need such a beast in a hurry, I could write it for you for $50 US.
