need an app 2 replace a string in a text file

[SiMoNsAyS]

i'm currently writing a guide on how to install firefox unattended with extensions, themes and configs pre-stored. but i need an application to write in a file the path of the application.

for example

if %PROGRAMFILES% it's C:\Program Files\ then write into C:\apps.txt "C:\Program Files\"

if %PROGRAMFILES% it's D:\Program Files\ then write into D:\apps.txt "D:\Program Files\"

and so on...

it's this posible from a batch file?? do anyone know any application that can do this?

[XtremeMaC]

u could use batch

if exist "c:\program files"

copy apps.txt c:\progra....

or if not exist "c:\program files"

copy apps.sts d:\program files...

I think?

but how r u supposed to write the path? can firefox read it like this?

doesn't it have a predefined method of storing relative paths?

You can use redirection symbols in a batch file to do it: > or >>

i'll try to explain it better, well firefox write a file called chrome.rdf and there stores path to themes and extensions for example jar:file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/BARTON/Datos%20de%20programa/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/default.bio/extensions/%7B9f08cb5a-76b1-4bcf-aff9-90e1a5d60b1e%7D/chrome/Noia2_Full_2.73-1.jar!/browser/. problem goes when the installation it's in another user or in another drive. what i want it's "something" that can read the %APPDATA% path and store it in the .rdf (text) file.
