Hi,

   A presumably easy question.  What is the best way to modify an
existing line of text in a file?  I need to create a method to change a
users password.  They file is as such:

user1 passwd1
user2 passwd2

How do I change, for example, user1's password to:

user1 newpasswd

leaving the rest of the file unchanged?
