Comment: 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

Reply: 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.

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

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

Reply: 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.

Reply: 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.
