Suppose there is an .ini file called forTest.ini, with contents roughly like this:
----------------------------------------------------------

aaaText=a content a content a content a content
bbbText=b content b content b content b content
......
----------------------------------------------------------
Here, the content of “a content a content a content a content” is variable

What I want to do:
1. First, “Set /p input=Please enter content:”
2. First check whether the file contains the line “aaaText＝...”
3. If it exists, then change the content after “aaaText＝” to “%input%”
4. If it does not exist, then insert “aaaText＝%input%” on the line after “”

I looked through the collection threads from 2007 and 2008, but still can't make it work　:(

Your approach is not very good. If you have to handle a very large file, or if the file contains special characters, you have to take those into account. I recommend using inifile.exe; this program is specifically for editing ini files.

The file is not large, it's just the “desktop.ini” file in a folder, and the content usually isn't much, right? Special characters do need to be considered though.

InfoTip=Haha, this is the folder description content...

IconResource=C:\Windows\system32\SHELL32.dll,4





Mode=

Vid=

FolderType=Generic

What I mainly want to do is add an “Add/Modify Description Info” item to the folder right-click menu, and after clicking it, directly enter the description content to be added or modified.

The effect would be roughly like my “folder disguise”:
