Hi
you should post what exactly you want to do; at the moment it is too abstract.
You would have to know what exactly you want to replace.

You may want to check out sfk.exe - a free tool which you could download here:

download sed for windows then use this syntax

Code: Select all

c:\> sed "s/old word/replacement/g" file

the "g" modifier does a global replacement.

Using native batch you have to do that with a FOR loop. If the file contain nonpritable characters it will not work. If the file contain spezial characters like ^<>|& it's possible but difficult.
Tell some more about the file and the character you want to replace.
