http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm = Sed for Windows

Works like a charm:

C:\>type sample.sql
REM SELECT * FROM DUAL;


C:\>which sed
C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\sed.EXE

C:\>sed "s/REM //" sample.sql
SELECT * FROM DUAL;

Quoting Niall Litchfield <niall.litchfield@xxxxxxxxx>:

sed is a unix command line tool. You can get various replacements using
cygwin or others - if sed is a gnu utility there will likely be a windows
binary for it, or you can reformulate your problem as a business problem
rather than a technology issue - for example I need to remove all
occurrences of a string from a file, preferably using the command line. I'd
just use ctrl-h in write to do string replacement in a text file fwiw.

'sed' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
