"Native" Windows Batch-Scripts can't do sed, or awk, or grep, or any other kind of proper text processing (or even any other kind). So you can either install a third-party tool like Cygwin (free), MKS Toolkit (Payware), or SFU (gratis), use VBScript (or something similar), or convert your script to Perl and install a Perl interpreter. Cygwin has the advantage of being built from the same sources Linux uses, and even ships with a X11 server.

The trivial "find and replace" which you describe can be achived with MSDOS editor "edlin" on a small simple text file. The "edlin" editor cannot handle long filenames.

http://www.empowermentzone.com/dos_pipe.txt

Because the edlin command sequence contains ctrl/z don't forget to use edlin itself to create the edlin inward redirect command file.

Warning: On my quick test edlin loops if the match string does not exist in the input file !


Overall you'd be better writing a program or getting a modern port of "sed".

I don't have any experience with it but there's also a Sed for Windows.
