Replace file lines: if statement and goto
Posted: 17 Jun 2024 10:46
Hello,
I have a file structured in this way:
It is therefore necessary for me to rewrite the file.
Since batch doesn't support more than three statements at a time (if, else if and else), I need a script that determines if the line is the one to replace and replaces it, otherwise write the line intact.
The only way is to the call function. But how do I pass the line under consideration as an argument?
I have a file structured in this way:
What I would like to achieve is replace the lines with \begin{flushleft}, \end{flushleft} and \raggedright with strings of my choice.\begin{flushleft}
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
\end{flushleft}
\raggedright

call :check %%A
)
)
:check
::echo replace or intacted line
exit /b 0
MOVE %OutputFile% %InputFile%
