iterate over the file checking (and modifying) each line
write the line back out:
Pseudo code
Out = open('foo.txt','w')
for line in file('foo.txt'):
if 'somestring' in line:
line = 'I changed it\n'
Out.write(line)
Out.close()
You will find much more on this in my file handling topic in my
tutorial.
