Hi Please help me out in this! I'm making a batch file to automate the Trigger Settings. There is a file ibmp.properties having a parameter "Clients.jar" containing all the jar files entries as its value(comma separated). I want to add a new value to this parameter in addition to the old values. I'm doing the following for this : echo Client.Jars=ssacustom.jar >> %SERVERROOT%\bin\ibpm.properties But this is creating a new parameter-value pair (Client.Jars=ssacustom.jar ) at the end of the file, rather then appending the value to the existing parameter. Please help me in this. Tell me where I'm wrong and how can I rectify it.

Hi @echo off rem Create XECHO.COM echo N XECHO.COM >~x.txt echo A 100 >>~x.txt echo MOV AH,2 >>~x.txt echo MOV SI,82 >>~x.txt echo MOV,DL,[SI] >>~x.txt echo CMP DL,D >>~x.txt echo JZ 113 >>~x.txt echo MOV AH,2 >>~x.txt echo INT 21 >>~x.txt echo INC SI >>~x.txt echo JMP 105 >>~x.txt echo MOV AH,4C >>~x.txt echo INT 21 >>~x.txt echo. >>~x.txt echo R CX >>~x.txt echo 17 >>~x.txt echo W >>~x.txt echo Q >>~x.txt debug <~x.txt > nul del ~x.txt echo XECHO.com created ---------- Run this batch file to create XEcho.com. Then will then echo a line without a Carriage Return plus LineFeed at the end of the line. Use like this. xecho 12345 > test.txt xecho 6789 >> test.txt test.txt now contains 123456789 The next echo command will append to the end 123456789 so to force a newline use echo. >> test.txt. Then use echo or xecho command as required.

use an appropriate tool for the job. If you have GNUawk/perl/vbscript/etc...its easier... in GNUawk [code] awk '/Client.Jars/{print $0",ssacustom.jar";next}{print}' "file" [/code]

Thanks for your replies. I used SED(stream editor) for this and it worked.
