DOSAM,

To replace a single line in a text file you might want to try something like this:

Code: Select all

set BatchFile=%~dp0
set filename=myregfile.reg
set findthis=installdir

(for /f "tokens=1,* delims=]" %%a in ('"find /n /v "" "%filename%""') do (
        echo.%%b|find "%findthis%">NUL && ( echo.%findthis% = "%BatchFile%"
        ) || ( echo.%%b )
))>"%filename%.tmp"
move /y "%filename%.tmp" "%filename%"

DOS IT HELP?

do u see there at first line, there comes a enter, how do I remover it in dos cuz otherwise regedit will not accept the reg file anymore.

2nd. looks to the lines where first stands path: _DIR_ and look then in the 2nd there u see lines start with _DIR_ but actually, _DIR_ had to be removed and that install dir and other had must stay stand there! is there a way to fix?
btw, here is code of my BAT file:

Code: Select all

@echo off
title CCZ REG iNJECTOR
echo Injecting REG file, wait...
::Get the current batch file's short path
for %%x in (%0) do set BatchPath=%%~dpsx
for %%x in (%BatchPath%) do set BatchPath=%%~dpsx
echo.
echo reg file 
echo getting directory..
echo.
echo.
echo directory = %BatchPath%
echo now getting it into a textfile...
set BatchFile=%~dp0
set filename=myregfile.reg
set findthis=_DIR_

(for /f "tokens=1,* delims=]" %%a in ('"find /n /v "" "%filename%""') do (
        echo.%%b|find "%findthis%">NUL && ( echo.%findthis% = "%BatchFile%") || ( echo.%%b )
))>"%filename%.tmp"
move /y "%filename%.tmp" "%filename%"
pause
