Hello,
I'm trying to find a script that will search for certain text in a file, and if found, delete it. Something like this, but I can't get it to work for some reason.


@ECHO off
for /F"delims=;" %%a in ('findstr /m /i "alldata" %userprofile%\Cookies\*.txt') do (
@echo %%a
rem del %%a
)
This may help:

Code: [Select]@echo off
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%i in ('dir /a:-d /b /s %userprofile%\Cookies\*.txt') do (
findstr /m /i "alldata" "%%i"
if not errorlevel 1 rem del %%i
)

If the console output looks OK, remove the rem instruction from the if statement to actually delete the files.

Good luck. Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I get a MESSAGE that says: "The system cannot find the PATH specified."Double check that path. On my Win7, c:\%userprofile\Cookies is a junction and points to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies and the %user%profile%\cookies folder is hidden and flagged as a system folder.

Try hardcoding the cookie path as: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies

Thank you for the reply. I have to look further into this issue because windows blocks the folder by default. Looks like I have to find another alternative to removing cookies for my jobs website another way without removing the entire cookies. Thank you for your help SideWinder, definetely appreciate the FAST response.
