findstr is not the tool to edit files. See here for few examples i gave to replace TEXT in files. if you want to try the vbscript, do some changes
Code: [Select].....
strLine = objFile.ReadLine
strLine=Replace(strLine,"SEARCH","replace")
wscript.Echo strLine
.......
ahh.
thank you very much. it took a LITTLE bit for me to COMPLETELY understand but now i know.
Thank you very much gh0std0g
