i need to replace a key word in a text file through cmd script the record length of a record in the file is 2600. i am using below mentioned code for the same @echo off REM -- Prepare the Command Processor -- SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS SETLOCAL DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION ::BatchSubstitude - parses a File line by line and replaces a substring" ::syntax: BatchSubstitude.bat OldStr NewStr File :: OldStr [in] - string to be replaced :: NewStr [in] - string to replace with :: File [in] - file to be parsed if "%*"=="" findstr "^::" "%~f0"&GOTO:EOF for /f "tokens=1,* delims=]" %%A in ('"type %3|find /n /v """') do ( set "line=%%B" if defined line ( call set "line=echo.%%line:%~1=%~2%%" for /f "delims=" %%X in ('"echo."%%line%%""') do %%~X ) ELSE echo. ) Length of record in my input file is 2600 bytes. but the above utility is only reading 1022 bytes of record and ignoring the rest. Kindly suggest how can i make it to read whole 2600 length record for find and replace.

There is a forum devoted to Programming accessible from the menu on the right. You may find more help there The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money!

This is probably no help, but I think there is a 1024 character string limit in DOS. Like Ewen suggested, if you don't get any help here, try the programming forum.
