Search and Replace characters within a file

Hi

I have a large (1000ish lines) file, which contains @ signs where I want double quote marks "

what's the easiest way to process the file and exchange every @ for a " ?

strnage

string.gsub is what you're looking for. just read all the contents of the file into a string and use gsub to replace all the @ with "

All done - many thanks (once I remembered to close the file at the end!)
