BATCH - replace vowels

help me, /prog/, you are my only hope!
i need to write a .bat that goes through a text and replaces all vowels by another character. don't ask for sense in that.
here is my code:

SET ersatz=a
:SchleifeVok
SET Zeichen=%Inhalt:~0,1%
SET Inhalt=%Inhalt:~1%
 ---> goes through the text, takes first character
FOR %%i in (a e i o u ä ö ü) DO IF ("%Zeichen%"=="%%i")  (ECHO %Ersatz%>>chinesen2.txt) ELSE (ECHO %Zeichen%>>chinesen2.txt)
 --> if the current character is either a e i o u ä ö ü, it will replace that with %Ersatz%
IF "%inhalt%"=="" (PAUSE) ELSE (GOTO SchleifeVok)

anyways, this does not work - neither does it replace ANY character nor does it ECHO the text correctly, but the biggest problem is how the replacement is not working.
tell me, /prog/, how do i fix this??

oh, and just to make that clear:
%Inhalt% is the content of the entire text
%Zeichen% is the current character

fuck yeah german

sed -e 's/[aeiou]/C/g' file

Hello, AnonTalk spammer.
Use a better scripting language than .bat

HTH HAND

1) not an AnonTalk spammer
2) not my choice, have to do it that way

German has many more vowels than that.

anybody willing to help me?
my posted code seems pretty legit to me, there must be some minor mistake in it...

That's what everyone thinks

(a e i o u ä ö ü)
I haven't programmed a .bat in years but have you tried ("a" "e" "i" "o" "u" "ä" "ö" "ü") instead

tried, did not work

bash-3.2$ cat > chinesen
what a bunch of crap
bash-3.2$ cat chinesen | sed 's/[aeiou]/a/g'
what a banch af crap
bash-3.2$ _

In addition:
SET ersatz=a
ECHO %Ersatz%>>chinesen2.txt
ersatz is something different than Ersatz.
If you knew anything about programming that is more sophisticated than BASIC, you'd know that.

YOU.
ALL.
SUCK.
found this solution:

SET inhalt=%inhalt:e=a%
SET inhalt=%inhalt:i=a%
SET inhalt=%inhalt:o=a%
SET inhalt=%inhalt:u=a%
SET inhalt=%inhalt:ä=a%
SET inhalt=%inhalt:ö=a%
SET inhalt=%inhalt:ü=a%
SET inhalt=%inhalt:ß=ss%
ECHO %inhalt%>>chinesen2.txt

works perfectly

tr "aieuo" "a" < file

I lol'd. Enjoy your lack of reusability and modularity

Hey OP, use code tags and I'll take a look.
