@echo off > newfile setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (my.ini) do ( set str=%%a set str=!str:oldtext=newtext! echo !str! >> newfile ) ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

I haven't thought of any way to do this yet but dosen't the above just set a variable of the old text, then change the variable to the new text then append it to the ini, which is otherwise unchanged?

It writes to newfile. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

sorry you are very much right, that's what I get for thinking about three things at once.

It works!! Thanks a lot. Hi! i m new to batch programing. I want to make a batch file which will search for a particular string in a ini file and replace it with a another string . Can anyone help me. Thanks in advance.
