JREPL.BAT - how to replace with UK pound sign, using code page 850

[davidblc]

How would I use JREPL.BAT to replace any occurrence of the text "zzz" (without the quotes) in a text file with the UK pound sign? I am using code page 850, Latin-1 (aka ISO-8859-1), for which the UK pound sign has number 163.

I looked for examples, but found nothing that seemed obvious to me.

You don't need a program as complicated as JREPL to perform a replacement as simple as this one. Try this in a Batch .bat file:

Code: Select all

@set @a=0  /*
@cscript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0" < input.txt > output.txt
@goto :EOF */


WScript.Stdout.Write(WScript.Stdin.ReadAll().replace(/zzz/g,String.fromCharCode(163)));

If the output file have not the right UK pound sign, try to hard-write it between quotes in place of String.fromCharCode(163).

For a further description on the replace method, see this page.
