This method is meant to change a certain line in a file the method itself works when run but it only changes the line when i close the program which is when it closes the writer, i looked it up and add writer.flush() earlier on in the code to see if that would work but i still have the same problem
You are trying to read from and write to the same file. You cannot do both operations at the same time as the file will get locked. close the reader and then do the write operation.
