Editing text file with MEL?

[omkar-jere]

I want to edit a specific line from a text file using MEL is it possible ?

For e.g.

// My Text File

1 pCube1
2 pCylinder1
3 nurbsCircle1
3 pPlane1

In the above file, I want to remove text from line 3. Is it possible ? Or I have to re-write the entire file ?

it possible ? Or I have to re-write the entire file ?

Yes you need to proccess the entire ffile. This is a feature of the disk system, for example windows does not allow this for any programming language.
