Hi, 
 
 
I want to replace the first column of the text file with another drive location and strip all the subfolders in between. How can I accomplish this in batch? 
 
&quot;\\myserver\sub1\sub2\abc1.pdf&quot;,&quot;ABC_018-2002-A_0_20011231_20020215__1.pdf&quot;,&quot;ABCInc&quot;,&quot;A&quot; 
 
 
becomes: 
 
&quot;Z:\process\abc1.pdf&quot;,&quot;ABC_018-2002-A_0_20011231_20020215__1.pdf&quot;,&quot;ABCInc&quot;,&quot;A&quot;

Changing the path of a column in a text file using batch

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
