this not duplicate of how can find , replace text in file using windows command-line environment?
i trying figure out how replace value of property. not replacing 1 word another.

@echo off setlocal set "sourcedir=c:\106x" ( /f "usebackqdelims=" %%a in ("%sourcedir%\q25967146.txt") ( /f "tokens=1*delims==" %%g in ("%%a") ( if /i "%%g"=="servername" (echo(%%g=%~1 ) else (echo(%%a) ) ) )>newfile.txt :: newfile.txt contains modified version. :: line overwrite original echo(move /y newfile.txt "%sourcedir%\q25967146.txt" goto :eof you need change setting of sourcedir suit circumstances.
i used file named q25967146.txt containing data testing. change name suit yourself.
produces newfile.txt
the required move commands merely echoed testing purposes. after you've verified commands correct, change echo(move move move files. append >nul suppress report messages (eg. 1 file moved)
the method shown above deliberately creates new file in order new version can viewed without damaging original.
note version remove empty lines file when creating new version. can overcome if required.
to run routine, use
thisbatchname "replacement text"
if replacement text single string without spaces or other separators (as seems likely) quotes can omitted.
code fixed - there delims==" in for /f...%%a... line, should delims= (one =.) double = correct in for /f ... %%g... line.
to replace file, activate move instructed replacing echo(move move - once you've verified procedure operating correctly. you've seen, 1 small error , damage have been done - saved two-step operation.
