Assuming case insensitive match.
Code: Select all
@echo off &setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set "$inFile=abc.txt"
set "$ouFile=out.txt"
type "!$inFile!"
> "!$ouFile!" (
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%? in (
"!$inFile!"
) do set "$=%%?" &if /i "!$:ramesh=!" == "%%?" (
(echo.%%?)
) else (echo.xyz) &(echo.%%?)
)
type "!$ouFile!"
pause
endlocal &exit /b 0

Another option: GnuSED for Windows produces the result you need
Code: Select all
@echo off
sed "s/^ramesh$/xyz\n&/" abc.txt >out.txt
