How to write data to an exact row in a text file

Hello, I need to edit a parameter text file for my task and I need to change the value on i.e. 30th row of that parameter file with a loop then save the file. I've tried to come up with a function that does the trick, but couldn't find a proper one.

I'll be faithful if someone can offer some guidance. Thanks in advance.

What kind of data are in your file, why don't you post a sample of your text file?

don't comment your question with an answer, just post a comment like I did

Sorry, I am kind of in a hurry, here is my text file that I need to reference. I will create a loop to change REFKDT_DATA value (line 24) for further analysis. I tried to create variable references one by one, but Matlab gave dataread error.

There is no MATLAB function for changing a particular row of a text file. You will need to read the existing file and write a new copy of the file.
