Updating a stats file

[1LastTime]

Need some help on how to update a file that would hold stats
like created date, last date ran, number of times ran etc.
In most of my trials I write to the wrong line or the line does not update. Anyone care to enlightn' me on a proper way to do this. It would be a structured file that all line are consistant. A small example would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

If this is a file that only your or your script will be using, then the profilewr and profilerd commands would probably work the easiest. Otherwise, I have a couple scripts on my samples page that show how to read and update values in a text file. Search for "fseek" to find the scripts (three in all).
