    QFile file("C:/Users/Test/Desktop/Projekt/write.py");
    if(file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text)) {
      QTextStream rstream(&file);
      QVector<QString> v;
       while(! rstream.atEnd())
            v.append(rstream.readLine());
      file.close();
      if(file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text)) {
        QTextStream wstream(&file);
    
        for(int i(0); i < v.size(); i++){
             if( i == 5)
                 wstream <<  "test = 'TestFile.csv' " 
            wstream << v.at(i);
    
        }
        file.close();
      }
    }
    

    edit: fixed some typos, auto correct can be a pain, sometimes.

    I don't wish to start an argument or sound rude, but why encourage to read the whole file into memory when it's just as simple to do it line by line (at least in OP's case) as you go? Plus read-from-old-write-to-new doesn't suffer from blatting the original when the programmer makes a coding error! :) Anyway it's preference for the OP.

      @JonB Simple,
      I took the liberty to copy and past @VRonin example from before and edit it ;-)

        Lol! :) OK, I commented on that earlier, far be it for us to disagree with the venerable @VRonin :) Anyway, the OP can do it either way as he sees fit.

            the example is not checked, I don't have a +py file for that.

            Obviously you need to add a new line character at the end of each line.

            if( i == 5)
                         wstream <<  "test = 'TestFile.csv' "  << "\n";
                    wstream << v.at(i) << "\n";;

                now it works the problem is when i changed the wstram it doesent override.

                i get " test = 'Hallo221.csv' test = 'Hallo1.csv' ...."

                how i can override?

                  What does "override" mean? Do you mean "overwrite" what is already in wstream? Do you mean wstream.seek(0)?

                    yeah sry,

                    i mean "overwrite".

                    i always get " test = 'Hallo221.csv' test = 'Hallo1.csv' test = 'Hallo12321.csv' .....

                    but i want to get only "test = 'Hallo12321.csv' so i want to "overwrite" the line 5 and not add a new string

                      So did you try my wstream.seek(0)? after the first write and before the second?
                      Or, depending on just what you intend by "overwrite", you may need to wstream.resize(0).
                      Try with both "first-string-is-long", "second-is-short" and then with "first-is-short", "second-string-is-long" to see the difference between seek(0) vs resize(0).

                        You're doing fishy stuff, that may break at any point. 
                        You should rethink what you're actually trying to do.

                        for(int i(0); i < v.size(); i++){
                                 if( i == 5) {
                                     wstream <<  "test = 'TestFile.csv' "   << "\n";
                                    if(v.at(i).contains("test = '"))
                                        continue;
                                 }        
                                 wstream << v.at(i)  << "\n";
