sed

SED is a UNIX editing tool that can now run in DOS and Win32 environments. SED's function is to take a stream of text from a file or the console and manipulate it. Taking input from the console lets you write scripts that prompt the user for input. SED redirects the user's input to a file that your batch files can access.

To run two commands with one SED statement, use the e option, followed
by the commands enclosed in double quotation marks.
