replace a text from particular files in a network
I need your help.
1. I am look for a script to replace a text from particular files in a network.
2. This script will then rename all files in a folder. and add "- abc" in a file name eg: From file name is "abc.doc" to "abc - xyx.doc"
Thanks

Function reads filename1, replaces token, result writes to filename2:
Function works only for text files (for doc files you need to use Microsoft Office API).

Function ReplaceInFile(filename1,filename2,fromToken,toToken)
SET file=objFSO.OpenTextFile(filename1,1)
if err.number>0 then
MsgBox "Can't read file " & filename1, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Error"
WScript.Quit(1)
end if
contents=file.ReadAll
file.close
contents=replace(contents,fromToken,toToken)
SET file=objFSO.CreateTextFile(filename2,8)
if err.number>0 then
MsgBox "Can't write file " & filename2, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Error"
WScript.Quit(1)
end if
file.write(contents)
file.Close
End Function

My reading is that the OP wants to rename the files not replace the content.
I didn't bother replying because there must be quadzillions of script samples out there for recursively walking through files in a folder (and sub-folders, if required) and renaming a file is simple, using the .Move method of the FileSystemObject, examples of which must again number in the quadzillions.
