Find and replace text

[Kaiaualad]

Hi,
As a newbie I am trying to construct a batch file to find all instances of a a word "abc" in a bunch of log files and replace with "xyz".
The Findstr command is great,but The replace command only seems to work at the file level, not the word/line level.
Any ideas?

cheers

Is this an 'exercise' (ie, you've been tasked to do this from command prompt) or for real?

is a nice free find & replace tool if its for real.

No, it is for real - I have been tasked with constructing a daily batch file that runs through all application log files finding and replacing sensitive words.I am unable to use 3rd party tools due to security rules.
