Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - creating a batch file to edit a text file

Hi,

Could you guys help me make a batch file which will replace an entry in the text file - coming from an environment variable?

Basically it'll just replace the username and password. This is an excerpt of the file:
--------------------

line 1
line 2

<user username="USER" password="pass00"/>
line 4
...

--------------------

and it will replace the word "USER" and "pass00" with the Windows environment variable %username%

Can anybody here help me?

Thank you!
