Never seen you post this on DosTips or maybe I just missed it. Is this just more of a basic find and replace compared to JREPL and FINDREPL?

@Squashman - Yep , I've never posted this on dostips .It nothing so powerful as JREPL or FINDREPL , but I rarely need all the options they offer.

You may use a Batch file solution, but it is problematic and slow. You may use a Batch-JScript hybrid script like JREPL.BAT or FindRepl.bat instead, that run much faster and have the benefits of regular expressions, but it seems too much just to achieve a simple replace in one file. Fortunately, you may also use the same approach of this solution: write a small Batch-JScript hybrid script specifically developed to solve just this problem. Here it is:

@set @a=0  /*
@cscript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0" < Example.xml > Example.new
@goto :EOF */

WScript.Stdout.Write(WScript.StdIn.ReadAll().replace(/D74DVP1/g,"SomethingElse"));

For further details on what those strange @lines means, see this post. For a detailed explanation of JScript regular expressions, see here.

PS - Perhaps you forgot the "g" (general) option in the regexp of your VBScript (unposted) code?
