Need to update file myfile.cmd Myfile.cmd contains mapping ex. net use s: \\mycomputer\d$ 1. make copy of the orginial file as myfile.old 2. is there a way to search for a word and delete the whole line and update with a new mapping. 3. how can i search different partition for the file ECHO set text= "net use s: \\mycomputer2\d$" FOR /F "usebackq" %%i IN (`dir /A:D /B`) DO ( IF EXIST %%i\TEST\MYFILE.CMD ( CD %%i\TEST ECHO %text% >> MYFILE.CMD CD ../.. ) )

FIRST PART. THIS IS THE SEARCH echo DELETE RECORD set search= set /p find2=Name Search: CLS echo. echo Search Begun... echo. echo. FIND "%search%" myfile.cmd echo. echo Record Found, do you want to delete this record? Y/N set YN= set /p YN=Y/N ? : IF %YN% == Y goto YES IF %YN% == N goto NO Pause This is the DELETE PART :YES FINDSTR /v /i "%search%" < myfile.cmd > myfile2.cmd DEL myfile.cmd REN myfile2.cmd myfile.cmd echo. echo DONE Pause To point out, What this part does is take out the line and inputs it into a second file. Then the original file gets deleted. Then it renames the new file to the name of the first file. Bit confusing but it does work. There is probably another way to do it but I'm not an expert. So just remember, where the myfile2.cmd is, make sure it's differently named to your original file. Hope that helps. ****************************************** MSN = HardstyleMatt@hotmail.co.uk Need help? Just ask. :) ******************************************
