[help] Writing Replacerscripts

I tried writing a replacerscript to replace system files with CrystalMX replacements. It failed, so I did it by hand. But being lazy (and interested in accomplishing the replacement with a script) I would like to know how to write a replacerscript that works. If anyone has written one that works, I would greatly appreciate the help. If you could attach or pm an example of a working script that would be a big help. Thanks in advance.

What was the error? There is an example script here (bottom of page), along with everything you need to know about writing them.

I need an explanation of this line:

To execute the script, drag and drop it onto the Replacer.cmd file.

Does this mean I drag the replacerscript.txt file into the dos window or do I drag the contents of the .txt file into the window? If I drag the replacerscript file into the window, the error says the file is not in the database. If I drag the contents of the .txt file into the window, the error says the file does not exist. The existing script file is located in a folder with the replacement system files in the root of C:\. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

drag the file you want to replace into the window.

Drop the script on to the actual Replacer.cmd file (from explorer), not into the command window.

Thanks undefined. That was my problem. Script worked fine. Appreciate the help. Just fyi, this is the only site that I received any help with this question. Thanks again for taking the time to answer.
