I have 2 files that each have one line of text and I need to change the text in file 2 to match file 1
In each file the text says Port=3159(Different port number each time).
I need to change the port number in the second file to match the port number in the first file. Is there a way to do this in using a vbscript?

Can do it in PowerShell, if that works for you?
