I am trying to use LDIFDE to copy a section of AD from one Forest to
another. This is for testing purposes and I have the export and
import commands working fine when it is with in the same forest, but
is there a way to do it without using some text program (notepad) to
substitue for the DN? I want to script this from end to end and was
wondering if there was something I was overlooking.

Hello DBLWizard,

If you don't mind looking at third-party tools, we have a powerful visual
scripting tool for Active Directory that will let you do this export &
import in a matter of minutes. It's called the User Management Resource
Administrator. You can create a project file that will go out to Forest A
and dump all OUs, users, groups, and their associated placement &
configuration to a CSV file (or database, whichever you prefer; CSV file is
easiest). Then you can take that exported information and configure another
project to go out to Forest B and import that information in their respected
locations. You do not need to worry about formatting the LDAP information as
you do with LDIFDE, the UMRA takes care of all that for you. We just need
the object type (group, user, OU) and it's associated properties (name,
location) to re-create an identical object inside another domain.

If you would like more information, feel free to send an e-mail to either
