Select text within batch file

Comment:

Hi, I have a text file that has hundreds of lines of text. I need to create a batch file that reads all the lines in the text and then switches the 2 lines around. So i have Text A and Text B in this file called peters.txt that has many lines of text. I want to put Text B in place of Text A and Text A in place of Text B. The example text i want it to search for are the lines below: 0PW222222PeterPiper PIP Peterpan, Panland 0PW222222PeterPaner PAN Peterpan, Panland Once it has found the text in the file i want it to switch it in the same file like below so the second line is where the first line was and vice versa: 0PW222222PeterPaner PAN Peterpan, Panland 0PW222222PeterPiper PIP Peterpan, Panland Can you help please?
