.bat file for simple encryption?

Comment:
Is it possible to make a batch file to take a .txt file, and increase each character by a set decimal number? So if each character was increased by 5 dec's, 9 would turn into > and Z to _ etc.
This would form a simple encryption type so it would look garbled to anyone who looked at it.
Is it possible or are there any other small programs that would do this type of thing even in DOS mode?

i dont think bat files have that level of functionalty. to read a file, and increment characters and output the "encrypted" file, would probalby require a programming language like c++ or java.
correct me if im wrong though...

Hi,
Using assembler you could do that with as little as 32 instructions.
