Default Brake Line Leak, Replacement ?'s

So the other day my brake pedal went to the floor on start-up, and I found it was because I have a leak in the line on the drivers side near the rear tire. I am not familiar with replacing brake lines so I came here for some help. The line is pretty rusted, so I think I might have to replace the whole thing. Was wondering if anyone had some advice or tips on where to start from.

Thanks.

best to replace it as one length if possible - if so you would need a double flare tool and line bending tool also as it might be hard to find a replacement line long enough - you can also piece it together with a couple of prefab sections - ive done this but may not pass safety inspection - can be a bitch of a job and while your at it better check the other brake lines too - ive had brake lines fail as i was getting off the highway it really sucks
good luck
