Count the quotes. There's one too many.
A text file is no problem. I doubt you can run a bat file. Possibly with IE and a HTA, but I'm not very familiar with that.

I am able to open the txt file but I need to edit them...is it possible to open an input.txt and paste some thing in it..and save it...
You need to configure your browser to open text files in a text editor, rather than in a browser window.
And of course, you'll be able to save it to the original location only if that location is on a filesystem (either your local filesystem, or a networked filesystem).

how should I configure....can u tell me...
In my copy of Opera, it would be
Tools > Preferences... > Advanced > Downloads > Add...
Then I'd enter the MIME type (text/plain) and File extensions (txt) and configure it to open with the application I wanted. I'm not sure about other browsers.

You may need a script to automate. One below is in biterscripting ( http://www.biterscripting.com/install.html ) . It will automatically open all local files referred/linked on a web page one by one.
Make sure you install all sample scripts from the installation instructions, because the script SS_URLs.txt we are using above is a sample script. Email me if you need help.

CODE
var str page; cat "http://something..." > $page
var str links; script SS_URLs.txt URL($page) > $links
# Do one link at a time. Is it a local text file ?
while ($links <> "")
do
var str link; lex "1" $links > $link
# Is there a file:// in this ? If so, it is a local file.
if ( { sen -c "^file://^" $link } > 0 )
do
# Edit this file.
var str file; stex -c "^file://^[" $link > $file
system edit ("\""+$file+"\"")
done
endif
