How best to replace exact text in a given file?
Posted: 13 Jul 2015 10:55
Hi,
I have a template file that has the following abbreviated text in it.
I created a command file to copy this template file and give it a new name. Here is the contents of that command file.
I tried using sed but I would prefer to learn the dos way of replacing just the text '--FileName' copied from the template in the new file. I found an executable fart.exe but I think it does batches of files and not just a single file. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and consideration.
