What is the best way to overwrite a specific line in a file? I basically want to search a file for the string ‘@parsethis’ and overwrite the rest of that line with something else.

If the file isn’t too big, the best way would probably be to read the file into an array of lines with file(), search through the array of lines for your string and edit that line, then implode() the array back together and fwrite() it back to the file.
