Solve : SEARCH AND APPEND?

Answer»

Hi

I have a batch file abc.bat
Need to SEARCH for a string in a particular file SAY xyz.txt for string "name"
Assuming xyz.txt contained name , lets say the output LINE is --
My name is Matt

Then need to merge this line with existing line in abc.bat
Lets say the existing line in abc.bat is -- My name is Paul

Result --- My name is Paul Matt

Need to do this with DOS commands . Any HELP is appreciated.Code: [Select]for /f "tokens=1-4" %%w in (xyz.txt) do (
for /f "tokens=1-4" %%a in (abc.txt) do (
echo %%a %%B %%c %%d %%z
)
)
