You don't have to use an Array. Simply open 2 files, the source file
ForReading and the target file ForWriting. Make a loop that reads each
line from the source, manipulates the first character and directly
writes it to the target file.
When the loop is finished, close both files. Maybe you need to remove
the original source file and rename the targetfile to the same name as
the original source file. (Depends on what you exactly want to
achieve.)
