find and replace string with " double quotes "

[marcorocchini]

Hi,

and however I'm a c*t

please I need to find in a input.txt via batch all the string that are identical to:

interlaced="1" num="25"

and replace to:

interlaced="0" num="50"

How can I do it possibly using fart.exe or gsar?

thanks

If you are asking about this after we've already directed you to those programs, you clearly aren't doing your homework and don't deserve the benefit of using them.

Look. It. Up.
It's staring you in the face in their documentation.

These threads remind me of the house next door.

The dear lady died some four years ago but a cat is still seen entering under a yard door intent that there is someone there who will feed it.

hint: escape

the problem is the parse of " " " " double quotes

[marcorocchini]

for example:

sed.exe -i "s/interlaced="1" num="25"/interlaced="0" num="50"/" input.txt

dont' work

[marcorocchini]

sed.exe -i s/"interlaced="1" num="25""/"interlaced="0" num="50""/ input.txt

dont' work cat

[marcorocchini]

fart.exe -C -V -i input.txt "interlaced="1" num="25"" "interlaced="0" num="50""

don't cat

The domestic cat does not seek out it's own food but relies on others to feed it.

Whether also applies here, since the OP needs to be hand-fed, many languages that require quotes inside other quotes (which typically act as a delimiter) substitute the internal double-quotes to single=quotes. Thus find "I am a 'cat'" replace "I am a 'lazy stupid annoying cat'"

Let the cat escape.

It's really garbage compared to powershell...

But and even that is just for one platform.

[stax76]

You mean powershell being windows only? It's portable meaning it runs on Linux and Mac too but most Linux folks reject MS tech because of ideology...

oh ok, good to know.
