Guest Richhall Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 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 Rich
