How to Add REMark Lines to AUTOEXEC.BAT File
Keywords: autoexec.bat REMarks
Question:
I need to edit the Autoexec.bat on my users systems. I want REMark some lines. I can open the file scan for the text to be replace, but how do I over write the line?Answer:
Try this...
SearchString = "This is the text to find"
Dir = DirGet()
DirChange("c:\")
If FileExist("autoexec.xxx") Then
FileAttrSet("autoexec.xxx", "r")
FileDelete("autoexec.xxx")
EndIf
FileRename("autoexec.bat", "autoexec.xxx")
InputFile = FileOpen("Autoexec.xxx", "Read")
OutPutFile = FileOpen("Autoexec.bat", "WRITE")
Line = FileRead(InputFile)
While Line != "*EOF*"
If StrIndex (Line, SearchString, 1, @FWDSCAN) Then
CheckRem = StrUpper(StrSub(Line, 1, 3))
If CheckRem != "REM" Then
Line = StrCat("REM ", Line)
EndIf
EndIf
FileWrite (OutPutFile, Line)
Line = FileRead(InputFile)
EndWhile
DirChange(Dir)
