It would be pretty kludgy, but using the for and findstr commands you may be able to do this...
Read through the input file line-by-line.
Append each line to some output file, searching each line for the elements that you need to change and generating the correct line if necessary.
Rename the input file to input.old, rename the output file to the input file.
Is there some more info on what you are specifically trying to do?
