I've included a number of options in the utility that make it quite powerful. For example, combining the M and X options enable modification of binary files! The M Multi-line option allows searches across multiple lines. The X eXtended substitution pattern option provides escape sequences that enable inclusion of any binary value in the replacement text. The entire utility could have been written as pure JScript, but the hybrid batch file eliminates the need to explicitly specify CSCRIPT every time you want to use the utility.
I have ceased development of REPL. This newer utility has all the same functionality of REPL. BAT, plus much more:. BAT is available at DosTips. Read all of the subsequent posts in the thread to see examples of usage and a history of the development. Use FNR Use the fnr utility. It's got some advantages over fart :.
I don't think there's a way to do it with any built-in commands. I would suggest you download something like Gnuwin32 or UnxUtils and use the sed command or download only sed :. When you work with Git on Windows then simply fire up git-bash and use sed. If you want to replace a string in versioned files only of a Git repository, you may want to use:.
I played around with some of the existing answers here and prefer my improved solution The benefit of this is that you can pipe in output from any program. Will look into using regular expressions with this too. Couldn't work out how to make it into a BAT file for easier use though With the replacer. In this case will replace quoted "Foo" and "Bar" :. Here's a solution that I found worked on Win XP. In my running batch file, I included the following:. The replace.
Take a look at Is there any sed like utility for cmd. Executive summary:. May be a little bit late, but I am frequently looking for similar stuff, since I don't want to get through the pain of getting software approved. However, you usually use the FOR statement in various forms.

Thank you, This script was great, I love your prefix str and obj word , I do the same, It's old but gold, It's make code more readable.

I love answers that don't involve downloading something else to do it. Don't really have the time to debug it right now. Once removed, this worked fine. Here is the REPL. BAT script. Full documentation is embedded within the script. BAT version 6. The double quotes are not considered part of the argument.
The quotes are required if the parameter contains a batch token delimiter like space, tab, comma, semicolon. Full support is provided for substituion patterns available to the JScript replace method. The option characters are case insensitive, and may appear in any order. Unaltered lines are discarded.
The A option is incompatible with the M option unless the S option is present. This also enables preservation of the original line terminators. If the M option is not present, then every printed line is terminated with carriage return and line feed. The name of the source environment variable is specified in the next argument after the option string. An undefined variable is treated as an empty string. Both Search and Replace support all of the extended escape sequences if both the X and L opions are combined.
CreateObject "WScript. Item 2. Write str2 ; if str1! WriteLine str2 ; if str1! Incorporate user supplied JScript Translation facility similar to unix tr, only it also supports regex search and JScript replace Discard non-matching text Prefix output lines with line number and more As always, full documentation is embedded within the script.
Great stuff! Edit - Added the A option to only print lines that have been modified. This is a slick approach, it will come in handy for several other tasks as well. Thanks for posting it. Why don't you put it up on GitHub or as a Gist? If you need help with that, let me know. Show 9 more comments. Use FNR Use the fnr utility.
Has a "Generate command line button" to create command line text to put in batch file. Multi-line patterns: The GUI allows you to easily work with multi-line patterns. In FART you'd have to manually escape line breaks. Allows you to select text file encoding. Also has an auto detect option. Aman Aman 10 10 silver badges 16 16 bronze badges. This is nice. Being able to generate the command line from the gui is a nice simple feature that got me going quickly.
Very useful tool. Tried FART before but the documentation is out of date. Cool tool,it even supports regular expression. This is something that FART is missing. Thanks for indicating this tool. Single exe, great replacement for FART which is no longer developed and misses regex ; and PowerShell syntax is sooo unbearable. This is most useful. Pat Ferruccio Ferruccio Use cygwin cygwin. It's the next best thing to actually installing linux. It's better if one can provide a solution that doesn't rely on installing cygwin.
Gnuwin32 and UnxUtils are stand-alone binaries built for Windows. They are not dependent on cygwin. AndrewJohnson Opinion and information are two different things. I know I am late to the party.. Leptonator Leptonator 3, 2 2 gold badges 34 34 silver badges 50 50 bronze badges. The original request was to replace "FOO" with "BAR" in a text file using a batch script and with preferably built-in functions.

Recently tried the "" suggestion using the find and replace text exe and that also worked perfectly, just in case any one reading wanted to know — Tika9o9.
Try this on windows PowerShell. Tharaka Wijerama Tharaka Wijerama 1 1 1 bronze badge. There are a couple of ways you can accomplish this. Change the default handler of VBScript files to CScript by running this command from command prompt with Administrator rights :.
As a special case, executing ReplaceText from a batch script typically implies CScript as the engine used regardless of the default handler. You will definitely want to test this though prior to relying on this functionality. Use Google Fonts in Word. Use FaceTime on Android Signal vs. Customize the Taskbar in Windows What Is svchost.
