Change only a part of a line?

[Sauron]

Hi,

I'am writing on a Mod and I've added a checkbox in the ModSettings.php. And now the problem: For use the checkbox I must add a variable to the line "$onoffArray = array('stickyTopicsChecked'=>'enableStickyTopics', ..." in the ModifyModSettings2 function. If I replace this line BoardMOD will not find it, if thers any other MOD installed, that change this line. But when I  search only for a part of this line, I'll get an error from BoardMOD.
Is there any other way to change only a part of a line?

Thanks for help
Daniel

Use search for and replace, just replace the line with the changed portion plus the rest of unchanged portions.

Only way to do it.

You can add items to the array on separate lines if you want. That's what I  chose to do because I didn't want to make that line any bigger than it already was. I search for the text that uses the array rather than the array text in case other mods have changed it already.

Code Select Expand

<Search For>
   foreach ($onoffArray as $check => $var)
   {
      $onoff = isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$check]) ? 1 : 0;
</Search For>

<Add Before>
   // Calendar.
   $onoffArray['enableCalendarChecked'] = 'cal_enabled';

</Add Before>
