i want a CMD code that can find specific literals in another cmd file. i needed this for my unattended program installation.

eg. i want to replace the literal "%CDROM%" in a cmd file with "install"
eg. of cmd code:

the program should do the following:

before the program execution:
echo
echo installing program xxx
start /wait %CDROM%\Install\xxx\xxx.xxx

after the program execution:
echo
echo installing program xxx
start /wait install\install\xxx\xxx.xx

thanx a bunch

You could
[indent]set CDROM=install
before calling the cmd.
