I have the following XML file: input.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
</startup>
<appSettings>
<add key="Name1" value="Value1"/>
<add key="Name2" value="Value2"/>
<add key="Name3" value="Value3"/>
</appSettings>
<runtime>
<legacyUnhandledExceptionPolicy enabled="true"/>
</runtime>
</configuration>
I need to replace Value2
with ServerName
using Windows Batch file programming.
Could anybody help one as I am new to Windows Batch programming?
Batch will have trouble with <, >, ^ and & characters. This will work, but a JScript/VBScript script (like is referenced in one of the comments) is a much better solution.
Change "ORIGINAL" to the text being searched for, and "REPLACE" to the new text. I recommend for Windows scripting to learn JScript.
@echo off
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%f in ('type sometext.txt') do CALL :DOREPLACE "%%f"
GOTO :EOF
:DOREPLACE
SET INPUT=%*
SET OUTPUT=%INPUT:ORIGINAL=REPLACE%
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%g in ('ECHO %OUTPUT%') do ECHO %%~g>>out.txt
EXIT /b
:EOF
