Update text file batch file

[Guest Richhall]

Hi

 

I have an application on a number of users workstations on the

network, and want to amend an entry in a text file e.g config.ini on

all workstations. Can i connect using a batch to delete a line and add

a line or find text and change it within a file if I know all the IP

addresses?

 

i.e

 

[parameter 1] Item=Y

[parameter 1] Item=N

[parameter 1] Item=Y

[parameter 1] Item=N

[parameter 1] DNS=test.systems.co.uk

 

i want to change to:

 

[parameter 1] Item=Y

[parameter 1] Item=N

[parameter 1] Item=Y

[parameter 1] Item=N

[parameter 1] DNS=test2.systems.co.uk

 

Cheers

You could do it with this batch file:

@echo off

set Source=\\192.168.1.10\c$\Some Folder\Some File.txt

type "%Source%" | find /i /v "DNS=" > "%temp%\temp.txt"

copy /y "%temp%\temp.txt" "%Source%" > nul

echo [parameter 1] DNS=test2.systems.co.uk >> "%Source%"
