Rao, I don't know of a way directly in DOS, v6.x. I can tell you a few tools that can do this. One is a DOS port of sed, email me. Streaming Editor. Such a command line would be sed -s 's/strint to find/string to replace it with/' filename. I have heard that you can script edlin to do this for you. I would trust the former more than the later though. This should give you some place to look. If you want / need more help email me, drscriptt@yahoo.com, and I'll see what I can do.

Use GSAR.exe (Global Search and Replace). Download it from: ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/micro/pc/simtelnet/msdos/txtutl/gsar110.zip
Good Luck! -Michael
