how to replace a string on the second line in a text file using a batch file?

Ok so ive been working on a fairly complex batch file that basicly asks the user to create a text file that contains 6 (or more) lines of text. Then it takes that file and changes every instance of every letter to its respective number (for example if the first line of the text file said "programable" then the program would change all instances of the letter "a" into 1 and "b" into 2 and so on until it was all numbers. It would then read "16 18 15 7 18 1 13 1 2 12 5") and i would do that by using the following script:

set /p var=< text.txt
set var=%var:a=1%
echo.%var% >> text.txt

However the only problem with this script is that it will only change the letter a on the first line to 1, not the letter "a" in the rest of the document.

I also tried splitting the document at the beginning of the program so that when the user types the text for the first line it sends it to a separate hidden file (text1.txt) instead of just sending all of the lines of text that the user types, into one text file (text.txt)

I did so using this:

set /p line1=type the first line:
echo %line1% >> text1.txt
attrib +h text1.txt
set /p line2=type the second line:
echo %line2% >> text2.txt
attrib +h text2.txt
:: ########################################################################
:: Im not going to repeat this 6 times but hopefully you get my point
:: ########################################################################

Now the problem with splitting the lines into separate files is that it would be in-efficient and extremely time consuming to change all instances of every letter into their respective numbers, and do it for each line (or in this situation, file) that the user inputs... If it would help if i put all this in context, here is the script for my program so far, for the ":LOADING" subscript i am currently using the method i explained earlier where i split the lines into files.

Code: (Save As "stringparsing.bat")

 @echo off

If you have a solution i would be glad to hear it because i have been searching high and low for a solution to this problem but have found nothing. Also, if any one notices any other mistakes or errors in my script then please feel free to comment!

Thanks in advance!

PS. If the last script i posted in this topic didnt come out right or it was all mixed up then just download the script from this link:

Let me introduce you to my friend, the for loop. Save all the lines the user entered into a single file. I'll call this file input.txt. Use a for loop with the /f switch and the delims= option to loop through every line in the file, and store the lines in the variable %%i. Without delims=, it'd read only until the first whitespace character.

For each line it reads, do your text substitution. The "gotcha" with batch programming is when you set variables inside a for loop, you have to add the line setlocal enabledelayedexpansion at the top of your file, and use ! instead of % to access the variable contents.

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "delims=" %%i in (input.txt) do (
echo translating "%%i"... ^<insert fake delay here^>
set var=%%i
set var=!var:a=1 !
set var=!var:b=2 !
set var=!var:c=3 !
set var=!var:d=4 !
set var=!var:e=5 !
set var=!var:f=6 !
set var=!var:g=7 !
set var=!var:h=8 !
set var=!var:i=9 !
set var=!var:j=10 !
set var=!var:k=11 !
set var=!var:l=12 !
set var=!var:m=13 !
set var=!var:n=14 !
set var=!var:o=15 !
set var=!var:p=16 !
set var=!var:q=17 !
set var=!var:r=18 !
set var=!var:s=19 !
set var=!var:t=20 !
set var=!var:u=21 !
set var=!var:v=22 !
set var=!var:w=23 !
set var=!var:x=24 !
set var=!var:y=25 !
set var=!var:z=26 !
echo !var!
)

If input.txt has these contents:

programable
this is line 2
third line

Then the output would look like this:

C:atch>encode.cmd
translating "programable"... <insert fake delay here>
16 18 15 7 18 1 13 1 2 12 5
translating "this is line 2"... <insert fake delay here>
20 8 9 19  9 19  12 9 14 5  2
translating "third line"... <insert fake delay here>
20 8 9 18 4  12 9 14 5

As you can see, I left out the fake delay. I like my programs fast. :)
