Server config file - batch editing script

**ranjankumar09** · 22-01-2010

I had seen this question somewhere earlier but can't find the thread. Here is the question reworded.

Need a script on each computer to open file C:\PLM\...\server1.xml, and replace each "LOCAL_PC_NAME" with the actual name of the computer running the script.

Here is the script to do that in biterscripting.

Code:

# Script Substitute.txt
var str file, xml, computer
# Get the computer mame.
set $computer = getcomputer()
# Read file in.
cat $file > $xml
# Replace each instance of "LOCAL_PC_NAME" with $computer.
while ( { sen "^LOCAL_PC_NAME^" $xml } > 0 )
    sal "^LOCAL_PC_NAME^" $computer $xml  > null
# Write file back
echo $xml > { echo $file }

Call the script with the following command.

Code:

script "Substitute.txt" file("C:\PLM\...\server1.xml")

Put the script in C:/Scripts or in some directory that's in $path.

Use the correct full path for the file() argument instead of "C:\PLM\...\server1.xml".

This script will work on 2003 server. Using this script you can access a print server, get information about all printers on the server. Hope that you were looking for the same.
