Background:

You are a high-ranking official working for a certain music awards show. You have been trusted with the responsibility of getting the proper list of categories and winners on stage to be announced. However, youve discovered that someone has been changing the results of certain categories to the performers that they think should win. It is up to you to keep an eye on those categories that are potentially altered, and make sure that the correct winner gets announced on stage.

Function Description:

Write a function that will read through a text file to find the given category (2nd input), and change the winner to the one specified (3rd input). Then write the results to a new file, titled _updated.txt.

Example:

results.txt: Album of the year: 24K Magic - Bruno Mars Song of the year: Despacito - Luis Fonsi Best Rap Song: HUMBLE. - Kendrick Lamar 

>> musicAwards('results.txt', 'Song of the year', 'That's What I Like - Bruno Mars')

results_updated.txt: Album of the year: 24K Magic - Bruno Mars Song of the year: That's What I Like - Bruno Mars Best Rap Song: HUMBLE. - Kendrick Lamar 

Notes:

The categories will always be separated from the songs/artist with a colon.

The category that you will have to change will never be on the last line of the text file.
