Comment:

I need a batch file that changes the following .txt file located in “C:\Program Files\Adobe\temp\a001day\cram32\index.txt” the batch file will be placed in “C:\Program Files\Adobe”.
The index file looks like this.
“alpha 0098-%da.BMP
ETXT 69 64 16 {0 0 0 0}
EAGL64%20metal%20bin%20attachment%20for%20runtime%20texture%20management%00%00%00%00%00%00
ETXT 70 glow%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00
bplt 0099-%d.BMP
MBP+2 60 x2 64 64 {0 0 0}
ETXT 69 64 16 {0 0 0 0}
EAGL64%20metal%20bin%20attachment%20for%20runtime%20texture%20management%00%00%00%00%00%00
ETXT 70 bplt%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00
deck 0100-%d.BMP
MBP+2 61 x2 64 64 {0 0 0}
alpha 0100-%da.BMP
ETXT 69 64 16 {0 0 0 0}
EAGL64%20metal%20bin%20attachment%20for%20runtime%20texture%20management%00%00%00%00%00%00
ETXT 70 deck%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00”
I need to change the
“bplt 0099-%d.BMP
MBP+2 60 x2 64 64 {0 0 0}
ETXT 69 64 16 {0 0 0 0}”
To
“bplt 0099-%d.BMP
MBP+2 60 x2 512 256 {0 0 0}
ETXT 69 64 16 {0 0 0 0}”
Basically I just need to change “64 64” in the seventh line to “512 256”
If someone could show me how to do this with a batch file I would be internally grateful.

I figured out by using Change.com and this script
change temp\a001day\cram32\index.txt "MBP+2 60 x2 64 64 {0 0 0}" "MBP+2 60 x2 512 256 {0 0 0}"
it changed it to what I wanted. The only problem is there are other segments that are identical to this line that I don't want changed . Anyone know how to make it only change this one line?

I thought that had worked but apparently it didn't. Does anyone know how to make it only change line 574?

@echo off
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f %%L in (myfile) do (
set /a NUM+=1
if !NUM! equ 7 echo this is line !NUM! so do the change
)

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

I think you lost me a little bit.
What exactly would the batch file look like to change line 574 in the above mentioned text file?
from
MBP+2 61 x2 64 64 {0 0 0}
to
MBP+2 61 x2 512 256 {0 0 0}
I apologize for my stupidity here but I could really use some more help.
I really appreciate you trying, thanks.

CHANGE /LINES 574-574 temp\a001day\cram32\index.fsh /FROM "64 64" /TO "512 256"
Thanks for your help Mechanix2Go.
