Batch file search and replace using wildcards
I have a html (txt) file I am using as a template or sourcefile to create
further html files. Filename = pg_0001.htm and it contains a line of code
thus:
pg_0001.jpg
I want to parse the pg_0001.htm sourcefile, increment and replace the jpeg
string, like this: "pg_0002.jpg", and then output the edited
htm file to a new filename pg_0002.htm
I then take each newly created file (pg_0002.htm, pg_0003.htm etc) as the
sourcefile and repeat the processing until I have reached my target goal (let's
say 100 newly created htm files containing code to display the corresponding
jpeg.
It must be done this way (fileX.htm containing fileX.jpg) because there is
other javascript that uses these incremented filenames as function input.
I used to know how to write incrementing batch files many years ago but I'm
old & very rusty now. Can anyone please help me do this? Many
thanks in advance.
