How to write a string middle of a text file?

hi, i am new to java. i have a problm about saving and deleting line from a text file. Suppose i have a text file named "input.txt", it has multiple lines like,

20007-James 007-James-Golden
20006-James 006-James-Golden
20005-James 005-James-Golden
20004-James 004-James-Golden
20003-James 003-James-Golden

if i want to delete the 2nd line, the view would be

20007-James 007-James-Golden
20005-James 005-James-Golden
20004-James 004-James-Golden
20003-James 003-James-Golden

And i want to save the file after i delet the 2nd line. Next when i open the file it should give me 4 line. can anybody help me with this?

Create a temp file without the second line. After you are done delete original and rename the temp file to original.

Did you try anything so far?

just try any ways,any things,any code to get the output you want 1st.
after try it, if you find it difficult or some bugs cannot be solved, all senior programmers are willing to help you.
There is the way how you learn things.

i tried it. and it works fine. thank you guys.

Hii all

its better you should check this code,i think it will help you.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

public final class ReadWithScanner {

public static void main(String... aArgs) throws FileNotFoundException {
ReadWithScanner parser = new ReadWithScanner("C:\\Temp\\test.txt");
parser.processLineByLine();
log("Done.");
}

/**
* @param aFileName full name of an existing, readable file.
*/
public ReadWithScanner(String aFileName){
fFile = new File(aFileName);
}

/** Template method that calls {@link #processLine(String)}. */
public final void processLineByLine() throws FileNotFoundException {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(fFile);
try {
//first use a Scanner to get each line
while ( scanner.hasNextLine() ){
processLine( scanner.nextLine() );
}
}
finally {
//ensure the underlying stream is always closed
scanner.close();
}
}

/**
* Overridable method for processing lines in different ways.
*
* <P>This simple default implementation expects simple name-value pairs, separated by an
* '=' sign. Examples of valid input :
* <tt>height = 167cm</tt>
* <tt>mass = 65kg</tt>
* <tt>disposition = "grumpy"</tt>
* <tt>this is the name = this is the value</tt>
*/
protected void processLine(String aLine){
//use a second Scanner to parse the content of each line
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(aLine);
scanner.useDelimiter("=");
if ( scanner.hasNext() ){
String name = scanner.next();
String value = scanner.next();
log("Name is : " + quote(name.trim()) + ", and Value is : " + quote(value.trim()) );
}
else {
log("Empty or invalid line. Unable to process.");
}
//(no need for finally here, since String is source)
scanner.close();
}

// PRIVATE //
private final File fFile;

private static void log(Object aObject){
System.out.println(String.valueOf(aObject));
}

private String quote(String aText){
String QUOTE = "'";
return QUOTE + aText + QUOTE;
}
}


For a file containing :
height = 167cm
mass = 65kg
disposition = "grumpy"
this is the name = this is the value
the output of the above class is :
Name is : 'height', and Value is : '167cm'
Name is : 'mass', and Value is : '65kg'
Name is : 'disposition', and Value is : '"grumpy"'
Name is : 'this is the name', and Value is : 'this is the value'
Done.
