With this loop I can replace a text string in a text file. But the output has some trailing white space and I can't find the cause of it.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%G in ('type "%cd%\test.txt"') do (
set lines=%%G
set lines=!lines:changethis=%cd%!
echo !lines!>> "%cd%\test2.txt" )

set lines=%%G
set lines=!lines:changethis=%cd%!
echo !lines!>> "%cd%\test2.txt"
)
