  2. BAT file/Script to find and replace files

    Hey all....

    Can someone help me make the BAT script in the 2nd post above to be able to use MORE than "1" file?
    As it currently is, you can only replace one particular file.

    For example, I want in the command line to be able to write two files or more, and the script will find and replace all those 2 or more named files.
    Thanks much.

    P.S.... Is there a GUI that does file searching and replacing?
    I've spent hours searching on the net, and the only thing I can find are "text" search/replace and this BAT command, not actual "file" replacing. I find this amazing. *Frown Read a file in a bat file :(

    Greetings, streetfighter 2.

    I'll give your BAT a try. Thanks so much.

    Greetings, FordGT90Concept!

    Question:

    "So you have a directory containing both random named ZIP files and consistently named TXT files and you want to apply the TXT file naming patern to the ZIP files where the 5-digit numbers match?"

    Answer: Yes

    Question:

    Are there sub-directories?

    Answer: No

    Question:

    "Are all the ZIP file names in that pattern (#####_Example_720p.zip) and all the TXT files in that pattern (RAT_Example_#####_24f_ONO.txt)?"

    Answer: Yes

    Sorry about the terse replies, but your right: "Never assume."

    Greetings, Streetfighter 2

    I'll give your BAT a try. Thanks alot!

    Read a file in a bat file

    BAT file/Script to find and replace files

    Hi, innovative thinkers! I am looking for a BAT file or script that takes random named zips, consisting of 5 random numerals in the name, and renames the zips identical to different .txt files with that same 5 numeral in the same folder.

    Here is an example of what I mean:

    BEFORE BAT

    C:\Documents

    45678_Example_720p.zip
    34284_Example_720p.zip
    67483_Example_720p.zip

    RAT_Example_45678_24f_ONO.txt
    RAT_Example_34284_24f_ONO.txt
    RAT_Example_67483_24f_ONO.txt

    AFTER BAT

    C:\Documents

    RAT_Example_45678_24f_ONO.zip
    RAT_Example_34284_24f_ONO.zip
    RAT_Example_67483_24f_ONO.zip

    RAT_Example_45678_24f_ONO.txt
    RAT_Example_34284_24f_ONO.txt
    RAT_Example_67483_24f_ONO.txt

    I would like the BAT to take only those matching 5 numerals as a reference.

    Thanks

    *Oh Well Read a file in a bat file :eek:hwell:
