Modify .mod files variable assignments using code

RAPID Programming

I’m looking to modify a variable assignment in a module file using Rapid code. Looks like this might be possible with some use of Open, datapos, getnextsym, ReadAnyBin, WriteAnyBin, Rewind, Close commands.

Has anyone done this and have a basic example to share? Any tips or hazards to avoid? Obviously this opens up some safety concerns if used incorrectly.

I assume the TP is doing something to this effect when changing variable declarations and using ModPos.

Modify using a rapid program or from a remote device such as a PC? Modify in which way? Just changing value or maybe the name?
