Hi All,
I need some help about the following cmd script which is supposed to do the following task on Windows 7 SP1 machines:
Searching for certain configuration files and replace a text string in it. So I am searching for the files with dir and putting them into a temp.tmp. After that I am reading it through loop and trying to make the change.
dir /s /a /b "c:\path\*.ini" > %userprofile%\temp.tmp
for /F "tokens=* delims=," %%G IN (%userprofile%\temp.tmp) DO (
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
set "config="%%G""
set "Value_to_change=Y"
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('type "%config%"^&cd.^>"%config%"'
) do for /f "tokens=1 delims== " %%a in ("%%~l"
) do if /i "%%~a"=="Param_to_change" (
>>"%config%" echo(Param_to_change=%Value_to_change%
) else (
>>"%config%" echo(%%l
)
type "%config%"
endlocal
)
But does not work as expected. The result is
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
If I put the path to ini file, i.e bypassing the search and loop - I works.
@echo off
set path_to_file="C:\path_to_file\file.ini"
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
set "config="%path_to_file%""
set "Value_to_change=Y"
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('type "%config%"^&cd.^>"%config%"'
) do for /f "tokens=1 delims== " %%a in ("%%~l"
) do if /i "%%~a"=="Param_to_change" (
>>"%config%" echo(Param_to_change=%Value_to_change%
) else (
>>"%config%" echo(%%l
)
type "%config%"
endlocal
This works as expected!
What am I missing!?.
Thank you very much for your guidance and help!
