It would probably be easier in VB, and you could have a nice UI for making the changes. Anyway, which parts are you having problems with -- changing the variables, writing the batch file, running the batch file, ... ?

writing the batch file is where things get fuzzy.

Should cover opening and writing to files...

Oops, chapter 4 has sequential files...

is there a way to write string variables to the file without them being in quotes in the batch file?
