I need to edit line an ini file as part of an install, by running a batch. Is this possible please?
e.g change
[settings]
IP=xx.xx.xx.xx
DSN=xxxxxxx
to
[settings]
IP=yyy.yy.yy.yy
DSN=wwwwwwww

Hi Richard,
To do it in a batch using only NT [FIND DEBUG etc] soon turns into a kludge.
If you're amenable to using a small [<1KB] utility, life gets easier.
Lemme know.

Hi Rich,
I understand the constraint.
I can arrange for the BAT to create the COM.
Let me know.

Hi Rich,
Yes, I will.
Got to leave for about 15 hours and if I'm not trashed upon return, I'll get it worked up.

Hi Rich,
OK, Will all the original INI files be identical?
I assume that the changed INI will be specific to the box that it's on, right?
From where will the BATCH get this bit:
IP=yyy.yy.yy.yy
DSN=wwwwwwww
If you can send me an INI, that will help.
Use this address because the SPANbots here are getting completely out of hand.

Thanks for your help, but ive sorted it now. I just echo the commands to an ini file
i.e. echo IP=yyy.yy.yy.yy >> test.ini
having deleted the original.
Cheers
