Question : Out of memory -- cannot change: File using CHGSTR.EXE

I am calling the following code below using a batch application to manipulate strings inside multiple *.HTML files

set BaseUrl=www.com/root
chgstr  "SERVER/CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY"  "%BaseURL%"   *.htm  /s

This works on some directories but for some files I get the following error on few files:

Out of memory error - cannot change : C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myroot\pkg_custom\work_
products_plugin\workproducts\Work Plan,core_pkg_deliverable_57.html

I get this type of message across multiple files, please advice.

You can get the chgstr.exe from here  http://www.paulslore.com/utils/chgstr.zip


My intention is to be able to find matching strings and replace the content via the batch application.

Answer : Out of memory -- cannot change: File using CHGSTR.EXE

There is no technical documentation on chgstr.exe other than the help screen:

   chgstr  /?

However, if you run the batch from the root folder you can loop thru each of the sub-folders like this:

   for /f %%D in ('dir/ad/b ^| find/v "."') do  chgstr  "SERVER/CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY"  "%BaseURL%"  %%D\*.htm  /s
