Solve : replace substring when giving file name to print?

Answer»

Hello,

i WANT to execute the following command

LPR -S 192.168.3.20 -P AUTO d:\SAMPLE.txt

replacing in the filename the word sample with the word test.
I mean the real file that i want to print is test.txt

How can i do this from DOS? Is there any function that can be used to replace the word sample with the word test?What do you mean??

If you want to do it at the prompt, why can't you just type this?

Code: [Select]LPR -S 192.168.3.20 -P AUTO d:\test.txt
Or if the command is in a batch file, why can't you load it in Notepad, change "sample" to "text" by use of the delete key and a bit of typing, and then save the batch file?

I fully EXPECT your answer will be that it's not as simple as that, but since you have given no background information, I don't SEE what else can be suggested.
