I am looking for some help. I am in the process of writing a batch file that   
   will open the newest file in the directory:   
      
   @echo off   
   set folder=C:\directory\   
   for /f "tokens=1 delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /o:d "%folder%"') do set newest=%%a   
   if not "%newest%"=="" echo Newest file is "%newest%"   
   if not "%newest%"=="" echo Full path: "%folder%\%newest%"   
   Exit   
      
   the second part I need is to have batch file look for any +'s in the file and   
   replace with 0's   
      
   example of current line 01G030160|G04C|G0501|G0601|G07A|G0801|G09+00032.00|   
   final result            01G030160|G04C|G0501|G0601|G07A|G0801|G09000032.00|   
      
   Then save the same in the same directory but with different name.   
      
   any help would be appreciated.
