I missed the subtle change. Here is some code:

Code: Select all

@Echo Off
    SetLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
    Echo.input:
    Type Some_Old.ini
    set "1st="
   (for /F "delims=" %%a in ('Type Some_Old.ini') do (
        If /i ".%%a" EQU ".SCHEME=3|10|0|0|" Set "1st=1"
        If ".!1st!" NEQ ".1" echo %%a
    )
   )>Some_New.ini
    Echo.
    >>Some_New.ini Echo.SCHEME=3^|00^|0^|0^| 
    set "1st="
   (for /F "delims=" %%a in ('Type Some_Old.ini') do (
        If ".!1st!" EQU ".1" echo %%a
        If /i ".%%a" EQU ".SCHEME=3|10|0|0|" Set "1st=1"
    )
   )>>Some_New.ini
    Echo.output:
    Type Some_New.ini
    Exit /b

After adjusting to the name of your particular .ini file, that leaves you with two files. You'll have to handle the authorizations, backups, renames and deletes from there.

It's nice that you came back to reply.

It's even nicer if you check it out first and come back and say "thank you"
