Actuly i m trying to write a procedure in plsql through which I can replace any string in the text file .... for example ....

      I have a text file named test.txt which contains data like

               hi its just a test.

now i want to replace its with it is after which the file contains something like

             hi it is just a test.

I was able to append the data on the text file , or i can over write it .... but ... if there is any function through which i can write any data to a text file in any position that is specified by me.

to write the data i m using this ...

--code to write data to text file
declare

    f utl_file.file_type;
    s varchar2(200) := 'hi its just a test; begin

    f := utl_file.fopen('READ_LOB_DIR','test.txt','W');     utl_file.put_line(f,s);
    utl_file.fclose(f);
end;
