Thank You, but the issue is that I need to keep the existing number and add the new 5555 to the beginning of the existing number<br />
<br />
<br />
Before: StoreID=97882<br />
<br />
After: StoreID=555597882<br />
<br />
<br />
apologies if I was not clear

Apparently you didn't try the code, otherwise you would see that everywhere it would change exactly as you described?

That is what that will do, if you replace StoreID= with StoreID=5555, then StoreID=97882 will become StoreID=555597882.<br />
<br />
I also agree that you don't need code to do this. Any text editor worth having has a find/replace feature.

Hello,<br />
I am trying to create a batch file that will modify a text file by pre-pending an existing value with several numbers.<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
The file has an entry called StoreID=97882<br />
<br />
I would like the batch command to open the file, find the StoreID= and add four numbers in front of the existing numbers <br />
<br />
Before: StoreID=97882<br />
