Solve : Finding double back slashes?

Answer»

How do I retrieve all lines in every file in every SUBDIRECTORY that contains the double backslash \\ ?Do you want the contents of those files to be appended into a separate file?

Is it every .txt file on c: or do you want to search binary files too?I just want non-binary files to be scanned with the STRING that contains the two backslashes, i do not care which file it was found in.This seems to work. The escaping seems to require the bunch of \

Code: [SELECT]findstr /s /p /c:"\\\\\\\\" *.* >file.txt
It provides an output like this which can be processed further to remove the path\filenames:

123 456\find.txt:\\DELL
find.txt:\\DELL
Thanks a lot, WORKS like a CHARM....
