Just do basically the same thing using fread() and fwrite() with the correct number of bytes specified. The key to this method working is that on every low level file read of write (of gets or puts) the byte pointer into the file is where you left it, that is, after the last read or write.

Thanks to you both,
I was trying to find a way of updating it keeping the original file name ( no need for rename etc... )
