I have the following code that reads the data line by line. I would live to replace the values found by subtracting them by 5. Any help would be appreciated.

The text file is displayed as below. I made the text bold, I am looping through the file and locating "HXX1" in the line and would like to replace the bolded values by subtracting them by 5 in the actual text file and saving it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
The problem I am having is there is a lot of spaces between each column in the text file

here is a link to a sample text file where you can see how it is formatted. It needs to stay in the same format

I have gotten here so far but now stuck on how to copy the array into one line including the blanks so it keeps the format and writing it to the text file.

VBA Code:
Sub FindLines()
'Declare ALL of your variables :)
Const ForReading = 1    '
Const fileToRead As String = "C:\Users\axela\Desktop\TEMP.DAT"  ' the path of the file to read
Const fileToWrite As String = "C:\Users\axela\Desktop\TEMPADJUSTED.DAT"  ' the path of a new file
Dim FSO As Object
Dim readFile As Object  'the file you will READ
Dim writeFile As Object 'the file you will CREATE
Dim repLine As Variant   'the array of lines you will WRITE
Dim ln As Variant
Dim l As Long, NewArray As Variant

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set readFile = FSO.OpenTextFile(fileToRead, ForReading, False)
Set writeFile = FSO.CreateTextFile(fileToWrite, True, False)

'# Read entire file into an array & close it
repLine = Split(readFile.ReadAll, vbNewLine)
readFile.Close
Dim arrSI As Variant
'# iterate the array and do the replacement line by line
  For t = 0 To UBound(repLine)
  '100001032622
  On Error GoTo FinishLine:
      If InStr(repLine(t + j), "100001032622") > 0 Then
                Do While InStr(repLine(t + j), "END OF DAY") = 0
                    j = j + 1
                                If InStr(repLine(t + j), "HXX1") > 0 Then
                                    arrSI = Split(repLine(t + j), " ")
                                        
                                            For i = 0 To UBound(arrSI)
                                            
                                                 If IsNumeric(arrSI(i)) Then
                                                    If CDec(arrSI(i)) > "100.00" Then
                                                    arrSI(i) = arrSI(i) - 5
                                                End If
                                                End If
                               
                                            Next
                                
                                End If
                                'repLine(t + j) = NewArray(d)
            Loop
      End If 'If Instr
 
Next
FinishLine:
'# Write to the array items to the file
writeFile.Write Join(repLine, vbNewLine)
writeFile.Close

'# clean up
Set readFile = Nothing
Set writeFile = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing

End Sub
