Advanced file modification

[Batcher]

Just closes...I typed in test (one of the first words) and hit enter...it just closed.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
set /p UserInput=Enter:
if defined UserInput (
  (for /f "usebackq tokens=1-4 delims= " %%a in ("list.txt") do (
    if "%%a" equ "%UserInput%" (
      echo.%%a %%b %%c is
    ) else (
      echo.%%a %%b %%c %%d
    )
  ))>"list_new.txt"
  move /y "list_new.txt" "list.txt"
) else (
  echo Your pressed Enter directly. Nothing changed.
  pause
)
start "" "list.txt"

wow, its an invisible error message.

non GUI user input version

Code: [Select]

Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFile = "c:\test\list.txt"
strInput = ""
WScript.Echo "Enter fname: "
Do While Not WScript.StdIn.AtEndOfLine
   strInput = strInput & WScript.StdIn.Read(1)
Loop
Set objFile = objFS.OpenTextFile(strFile,1)
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
strLine = Split(objFile.ReadLine," ")
If strLine(0) = strInput Then
strLine(UBound(strLine)) = "is"
End If
WScript.Echo Join(strLine," ")
Loop
if you are interested to use vbscript, download and read the manual and see what's going on with the script i wrote. that's learning.

It doesn't change anything...

Enter fname:
test
fnameÿlnameÿyesÿnot
ffnameÿllnameÿnoÿnot
testÿtestnameÿnoÿnot

I just realised that I don't need to modify the fourth delimiter, I can send the first delimiter to a different file. Thanks for all your help anyway!
