What information do you need to edit? Is it text you want to add or change? Is it for one file only? Is the text you need to edit predefined?
Need some more information...

I have a text file which contains a header. rest of the data in text file has equal row length. I want to add blank spaces to the header to have same row length as rest.
I want to do this with the help of batch as i cant run a Vb script on the machine.
