How can I search for a string in a text file and replace it once I find
it?

What I want to do is search for this string in the windows 3.1 win.ini
file:

Wallpaper=filename.bmp

And change it to another filename... But since "filename.bmp" could be
anything, how do I search for this string? Basically, I'd need to search
for "Wallpaper=" and then change the entire line to something else.

Any code examples would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Tony Blaha
