This puzzles me...

I did remove the directory lines and only used *.mif and moved the batch to the folders with the files (under documents and settings) tried again and it could not find the files!!

I then move the folder out of documents and setttings to under C: and then it works!!

What causes this?

I would refer to have it under documents and settings if that is possible

There is up to 100 unique files (file1,file2,file3,file4,file5 etc) and each of them has only one of the lines that needs to be changed, but this line can occur several hundreds times in each file.

What happened to the d:\data directory? When the run environment is changed, the batch file must change accordingly. I probably should have made the code more bulletproof.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%x in ('dir /a:-d /s /b "c:\documents and settings\soli004\data\*.mif"') do (
   for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%i in ("%%x") do (
      set input=%%i
      .
      .
      .
      echo !input! >> "%%x.chg"
   )
)
