1. Modify the string content in a specified column of a text file
Example: in the text file a.ini, the content in column 9 is: aaa bbb 123456
It needs to be changed to: aaa bbb 88888
What program should be used to do this?

2. Use the content of an existing text file to replace the string content in a specified column of another text file.
Example: contents of a.ini:
aaa bbb ccc
aaa bbb ccc =123456789

Need to use the contents inside another b.ini to replace the 123456789 content in a.ini.
How should this be done?

Please help solve this!

Also, can the tool INIFile 1.0 be used in the above batch file processing?

The OP should explain the required working environment, and the examples you gave are not clear enough. It would be best to post the complete ones.
Under NT, using for to parse text can achieve the replacement, but it's very cumbersome.
Try sed. There are versions for various systems, and it's very convenient for handling text.

I've already written a piece of software myself to do it! Many thanks! This thread is locked!
