   If there are no poisoned characters (^%!) in the file you can use:   
      
   @echo off   
   setlocal enabledelayedexpansion   
   if exist out.txt del out.txt   
      
   set /a n=0   
      
   for /f "tokens=1,* delims=]" %%i in ('find /n /v "" ^< "in.txt"') do (   
     echo.%%j>>out.txt   
     set /a n=n+1   
     if !n!==103 echo vpn_user>>out.txt   
     if !n!==103 echo vpn_pass>>out.txt)
