Open for Input & Output Simultaneously

[Mechanic]

In an Excel macro, can you have the same file open for input and open for output simultaneously?

Don't think so, at least not if you are using:

Open "Filename" for Input as #1
and
Open "Filename" for Output as #2

If you want to read some data, then write some data, then read some data, etc. you would probably want to read the whole file into an array (or some such container), close it, manipulate the array, then open the file again and write the data out.

If you have more specifics, I'd be glad to hear them...

There reaally isn't much to tell, I want to look through a file until I find a special charcter and either delete all records in the file until I encounter the next special character, or replace all records between those special characters with records from another file.
