@echo off echo off cls batchln 4 echo Welcome to the PATCHIT quick tutor! echo -another SEMPRINIWARE advantage- batchln 4 messpaus PRESS ANY KEY TO BEGIN TUTORIAL cls echo First, a quick look at using patchit... echo We will be using a simple file called TEST.FIL for these examples. batchln echo Here is test.fil: batchln type test.fil batchln messpaus HIT ANY KEY WHEN READY TO BEGIN. cls echo The first command line will look like this batchln echo PATCHIT test.fil /0 -First-=032=-Patch- batchln echo This will replace bytes in TEST.FIL starting with byte 0. Notice echo that the address is specified in hexidecimal. The first string of bytes echo to replace with is an ascii string, 'First'. The second is a decimal echo byte specification =032 (ascii value of a space ' '). The third is echo another ascii string, 'Patch'. This will put into the beginning of our echo test file the string 'First Patch'. batchln echo Since there is no fourth parameter on the command line you will be echo put into interactive mode, so press Y to make the patch when in PATCHIT. echo You will see a message at the bottom of the screen telling you what to do. batchln messpaus PRESS ANY KEY TO MAKE THE PATCH batchln PATCHIT test.fil /0 -First-=032=-Patch- cls echo Here is what our file looks like now: batchln type test.fil batchln 1 echo Now let's replace those words in the test file. Starting at byte echo zero, we'll just put the dots in with an ascii string '...........'. echo Notice that the address is still zero, but specified in decimal. Also echo notice the & at the end of the command line. This is to make PATCHIT echo run non-interactively. batchln echo PATCHIT test.fil =0 -...........- & batchln echo We will do this in the non-interactive mode, so this will be quick. batchln messpaus PRESS ANY KEY TO MAKE THE PATCH batchln PATCHIT test.fil =0 -...........- & batchln messpaus Done! Now press any key for the next example... cls echo Now let's replace some bytes to tell us what line is line four. We'll echo specify the address in hexidecimal and the bytes to replace in ascii. echo Notice that the space in the ascii string is specified by a hexidecimal echo number this time (20 hex = 32 decimal). The slash at the end of the echo command line is simply to tell PATCHIT to run non-interactively. The echo slash could be any character. batchln echo The command line will look like this: batchln echo PATCHIT test.fil /58 -Line-/20-Four- / batchln echo We'll be in non-interactive mode again, so hang on. batchln messpaus PRESS ANY KEY TO MAKE THE PATCH PATCHIT test.fil /58 -Line-/20-Four- / messpaus Done! Now hit any key for the next example... cls echo Now our file looks like this: batchln type test.fil batchln echo Hey! That's not line four! Well, good thing I have patchit here. echo I will just throw the correct text out there. I will specify the address echo in decimal and the bytes to replace with in hexidecimal. So the command echo line will look like this: batchln echo PATCHIT test.fil =88 /4C696E652046697665 batchln echo Kind of ugly huh? Well, let's see what happens.... batchln messpaus PRESS ANY KEY TO MAKE THE PATCH PATCHIT test.fil =88 /4C696E652046697665 / cls echo Here is our file now: batchln type test.fil batchln 2 echo Okay, now it is correct. Well, that wraps up this quick tutor. echo I will set TEST.FIL back to its original state so you can fool around echo with it. messpaus PRESS ANY KEY WHEN READY patchit test.fil =88 -...........- / cls echo That concludes this little tutorial.
