I am trying to use the replaceAll() method, but I cannot get it to work.
i'm trying to pass in a variable and I want it to replace everything that is
in that variable?
firstLineString is of type string also.
editedFile.replaceAll(firstLineString, "Work you silly code");
Thanks,
Ben

Read your file into a StringBuffer and call replaceAll() on the buffer's
contents with an empty replacement to wipe all occurrances of your word.
Then, write over your old file with the new String.
