You could read the file into an array with the ReadFile() UDF, get the location of "pcAlias=" with ASCAN, change the value, and re-write the file with the WriteFile() UDF:
for each $Element in $PClist
$array = ReadFile("fsp.ini")
$loc = AScan($array, "pcAlias=",,,1)
if $loc <> -1
$array[$loc] = "pcAlias="+$Element
$ = WriteFile("fsp.ini",$array)
endif
next
However, the logic you have mapped out would ultimately just replace the same line in the same file repeatedly until the end of the array, so I'm a little confused as what you're really trying to do...

No need to shell out, you could just have WriteFile() directly write the file. Now that I see a bit more what you're going for, there really isn't any need to look for that string every time, either:
$array = ReadFile(@SCRIPTDIR+"\fsp.ini")
$loc = AScan($array, "pcAlias=",,,1)
if $loc <> =1
for each $Element in $PCList
$array[$loc] = "pcAlias="+$Element
$ = WriteFile("\\"+$Element+"\c$\windows\fsp.ini")
next
endif

this is what I have it just hangs? not sure why?
can you see what I am doing wrong. It looks right
but when I execute it with the command cmd like this
kix32.exe fspreplace.kix
it juts hangs nothing happens??
Break On
Dim $PCList
Dim $array
Dim $loc
$PCList = "isasst", "isasst", "isasst"
$array = ReadFile("fsp.ini")
$loc = AScan($array, "pcAlias=",,,1)
if $loc <> =1
for each $Element in $PCList
$array[$loc] = "pcAlias="+$Element
$ = WriteFile("\\"+$Element+"\c$\windows\fsp.ini")
? $Element
next
endif

Or 3...
For Each $Element in $PClist
$=WriteProfileString("C:\MyIni.ini","MySECTION","pcAlias",$Element)

Well, if the ini file is always structured the same, there's really no need to go looking for the line.
Going back to my original solution...
for each $Element in $PClist
$array = ReadFile("fsp.ini")
$array[2] = "pcAlias="+$Element
$ = WriteFile("\\"+$Element+"\C$\fsp.ini",$array)
next

I see something I neglected to put in the code. This may be better:
for each $Element in $PClist
$array = ReadFile(@LDRIVE&"\fsp.ini") ;read "master" ini file into array
$array[2] = "pcAlias="+$Element ;set value array(2) to string value
$ = WriteFile("\\"+$Element+"\C$\fsp.ini",$array) ;write array back to file on the target machine.
next
From what you've said, I assume that the INI file is static, aside from the one line. That being the case, there's no need to look for the line, or to verify what the line says.
A "master" INI file (which can be located on, say, @LDRIVE or some other network location) gets read into an array (since the INI file can get deleted from the remote systems, this make for a safety net). The value you want to change will always be the third line in the file, so I'm simply changing the value of $array[2] to reflect the correct target. Then, the array gets written to a file on the target machine with the appropriate value in there.
