String Replace in a file in command line

[Kendall Chen]

Hi All,

  I was wondering if anyone knows how to do a string replace in a file using the dos command line? For example, if I have the string "abc" in multiple places in a file, how can I produce another file with all the "abc" replaced with "def". Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Kendall.
