Help with BatchSubstitute.bat
Posted: 06 Jul 2010 17:10
I am using the following BatchSubstitue.bat file to find and replace a string in a text file:
I am trying to replace a parameter in a text file that looks like this:
FlagA = 13
FlagB = 2
FlagC = 3
FlagD = 0
etc.
I would like to reset the value of FlagC from 3 to 1.
I use the BatchSubstitue.bat file with the following command line:
BatchSubstitute.bat "FlagC = 3" "FlagC = 1" test.txt > test2.txt
However, I get the following undesirable result:
3=FlagC = 1= 3
Is there any easy way to fix this problem?
