Simple help from you pros out there.

I am using visual studio 2010 express. I would like to search for text and replace it in a .cfg file.
Text reads as following:

windowed=False

Would like to replace it with:

windowed=True

And Visa Versa.

Very simple. Thanks.

1. Read the file into a string
2. Split the lines according to linebreak (new line)
3. Split every linebreak on the = sign as splitline.
4. If the first part of the splitline array is equal to your variable file then set the 2nd index of the splitline to your value.
5. Concatenate the line again with the = sign in middle
6. Then write the line to the new config file
7. Save the new config file

Good job you're done now you've created your application in less then 5 minutes!

Depending on the language you're using, to store configs use a HashMap(Dictionary for .Net languages, std::map for C++)
