I need to make my batch file replace a setting in "config.ini" for example:

color = 1A

how can I find and replace ONLY the 1A part instead of making another line.

Are you in Unix-like OS? if so, just use the sed command: 

sed 's/1A/replacedstring/' config.ini

added the third slash :)
Would had added -i to sed, but edit was to short ;) @user1941370: Be careful with sed and pipes for the write-back. Either use temp-files or sed -i
