Here we go:

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
(for /f "delims=" %%i in (new.txt) do if "%%i"=="c set="true"" (echo.c set="false") else echo.%%i)>newnew.txt
endlocal

I tested your lines and they gave the expected results using the OP's
example. Good job!

Just for fun (not meeting jj4u0's request for "simple") here's a quick
SED solution:

Code: Select all

@echo off
SED "s/c set=\"true\"/c set=\"false\"/" new.txt>$tmp$.bob
move $tmp$.bob new.txt>nul

Best wishes all!
