Batch file to update HOSTS file 1

[jaxtell]

Does anyone know how to write a .bat file to add a line to the HOSTS file? I'm looking for an easy way to fix a VPN DNS issue, and I think adding a line to HOSTS is the best/easiest way. Is there another place I should be asking this question? Thanks.

Very quick and dirty.

@echo off
find "vpn" %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts > NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO UPDATE
GOTO END

:UPDATE
echo 192.168.0.1 vpn >> %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

:END
