Need batch script to find/replace values in all files/folder

[chanchal21pes]

Hello,
I am new to batch scripting. I need a complete batch script to find (set of given values) and replace them with new values in all the files in the folder and sub folder. Please help

The files might not be .txt always.

Sample file content:

./adt_btth/cfg/wf_btth.cfg:$BadFile_1=/atadata/ipm/adt_btth/badfiles/VSYM_PROD.bad
./adt_btth/cfg/wf_btth.cfg:$PMSessionLogFile=/export/home/ipm/adt_btth/logs/sessions/s_concate_usoc.log

(string in bold above needs to be replaced with new path.

New Value will look like:

./adt_btth/cfg/wf_btth.cfg:$BadFile_1=/Info_new/Info/NDW/badfiles/VSYM_PROD.bad
./adt_btth/cfg/wf_btth.cfg:$PMSessionLogFile=/home/logs/info/NDW/logs/sessions/s_concate_usoc.log

There will be many such lines in one file and then many files in a folder and subfolders.

Please help. Please let me know if i should give more information here.

Thanks squashman.

Posting a question on multiple sites seems to happen a lot - and the poster will probably get a solution and then disappear without informing every site.

Thanks for your reply but i am supposed to be using a batch script(.bat) and not any tool.

Thanks alot for your reply but my requirement is to create a batch file (.bat) and not to use any tool.

Nobody suggested you use another tool.

http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index ... #msg900207 mentioned "a tool that does well with string manipulation." TC apparently stopped reading after that sentence, or they would have seen the pseudocode in the next paragraph.

Also, somebody is going to suggest that you use repl.bat (http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3855).
