Edit file in batch program

Hey all thanks for taking a look at this... I am creating a batch file that copies 4 files (1 Executable) and 1 folder to individual drives. One of the files needs to be edited in order for the program to work. The 1 file that is edited needs to corespond to the drive letter that it has been copied to. I would like to do this in the batch file. I already have the copy structure written but I don't know how to edit the file in the batch program and then save it. Any comments and help are appreciated...

Thanks for the response. What you posted would erase the contents of the file I am trying to edit. I am trying to edit one line of it.

Go to http://files.danen.org/h/ut/batch.shtml and get cutpak11.zip. In here is a utility called xchange.exe, which should do what you want as long as you know the existing string and the replacement string. All the above is freeware HTH
