Answer» Well I wanted to CREATE a batch file that would go through a text file and replace things. (aka convert) Either Salmon is joking or you should ignore him.

I was being sarcastic; I have no intention of attempting to charge for any help I give on here (how would I collect?); I merely meant I would much rather see a project that someone has a problem with, and suggest a solution, than write a complex batch script from start to finish from a specification. To the OP You can read a text file line by line using FOR, you can split each line up with tokens and delimiters, and you can substitute one string in a line with another using the %string:abc=xyz% notation.

That seems more than fair to me too.I also would prefer that, but there are cases that Person A tells Person B that he can do xyz with batch and learned it from here. Person B comes here and asks for a batchfile that can do as Person A mentioned. And I've always learned by complete examples, picking them apart to figure them out, and ASK questions if I can't understand a piece of code. Fair enough, but I object to doing student's homework, or IT staff's PAID work, for them Quote from: Salmon Trout on August 24, 2009, 05:05:05 AM Fair enough, but I object to doing student's homework, or IT staff's paid work, for themWe're not allowed to help with homework (or is it They aren't allowed to ask questions regarding homework).
