clearing the file completely :). Otherwise you could remove it and touch
it :).

What do you use? C? Perl? shellscript? Python or what?
In perl you could do a :
$x =0;
while (<>) {
$x++;
if ($x==2) {
print "anothertextthan what is usually here\n";
} else {
print;
}
}
An educated guess is that this is possible in most languages where you can
either handle STDIN or open a file :).
ooohmm.. :) Yes, this was a bit silly letter perhaps I should go back to
sleep..
