Dear Mechanix2Go,
Thanks for the reply but what you replied with was a script to create a new file "newfile" and copy all the contents of the old file into it and insert the text i want if i find the specific word, which is perfect except that i only want to INSERT in the old file (i.e; edit the old file rather than create the new file)..is that possible?
Thanks alot anyways.

It's usually not a good idea to modify a file which is open for reading.

I don't know of a way to read & write at the same time. What's wrong with creating a new file?

@labib, it is YOUR job to try and do this yourself in the first place. therefore, as much as M2 wants to help you, do not exploit his kindness by "rushing" him to do YOUR job.
that said, with batch or vbscript(AFAIK), there is no mechanism to edit a file in place. If you want, download sed for windows which provides you this capability.

Ghost I hate to get into the middle of pissing matches, but technically you are correct that you can't read and write the file at the same time, but that's not saying that you can't use VBScript to read the file into memory, then write from memory to the existing file with the added lines. Even though I am pretty new to writing scripts you can do something like the following to complete the task without having to create a new file.
strNewLine = "New Line to Write"
strFileName = "c:\test.ini"
strCheckForString = UCase("[ORAGTWY]")Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
StrContents = Split(objFS.OpenTextFile(strFileName).ReadAll, vbNewLine)
Set objTS = objFS.OpenTextFile(strFileName, 2)
For Each strLine In StrContents
If (Left(UCase(LTrim(strLine)),Len(strCheckForString)) = strCheckForString) Then
objTS.WriteLine strLine: objTS.WriteLine strNewLine
else
objTS.WriteLine strLine
End If
Next
Wscript.quit
