Hello

I have now searched all over the net but can't find any good solutions.

Is it possible to modify something specific in a txt file? I have the following file, where I would like to multiply the red numbers by -1. I have many of these files and they all have the same "build up".

My thought was to import the file to excel, modify the numbers and create a new file (or preferably overwrite existing file). But isn't there a way to edit directly in the txt file?

This is what the txt file looks like:
