Re: replacing the whole line based on substring of it.

Foxidrive...

This is the only way to use this code by calling it from another batch or from the command line.

I was hoping it could be contained in a aready created batch file without calling a seprate batch.

I can still use it.

Thanks for the code and your help.

Re: replacing the whole line based on substring of it.

Foxidrive...

Is there a way to hard code the makfi.txt , maki2.txt , apple and orange then use this code in a already created batch file. Or would it be better to just call search and replace.bat with the parms.

Re: replacing the whole line based on substring of it.

After replacing the text found. Is there a way to write the entire line with the changed word to another file?

example source text
I have a apple - Replace text (apple) with (orange)

example output text
I have a orange - (all words in output file)

Is this possible to do?

Thanks

Re: Is there an easy way to echo 31 days from current date?

Thank you for the quick response...
Is there any way to do this without creating and using a vbs file?

I know the temp file gets deleted after the file is closed but can this be done without any files being created using dos batch.

Thank you

Re: Insert text into column b csv file

Robert - One more question I would like to add to my previous Post - If I just want to view the Testfile.csv using Option 1. View File. Does it need to Create the Testfile2.csv?.

Thank You again
