Hello,

is it possible to set multiple strings to one set command, or if not what is my other option?

I'm using the following code to LOOK for the string 100101 in a file, and output the results to a csv file with the name the file came from, the string, and the number of records found with that string. I'd also like to ADD the string 100131 to this.

Thx


@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set folder="C:\Mydir\"
set string = 100101
set outputfile="C:\Mydir\myoutputtxt.csv"
if exist %outputfile% del %outputfile%
cd /d %folder%
for /f "delims==" %%F in ('dir /b *.*') do (
set filename=%%~nxF
set /a COUNT=0
for /f "delims==" %%L in ('type "!filename!"') do (
set line=%%L
if "!line:~0,6!"=="%string%" set /a count+=1
)
echo !filename! ,!string!, !count!>> %outputfile% Code: [Select]@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set findfolder="C:\Mydir\"
set outputfile="C:\Mydir\myoutputtxt.csv"
set stringlist=100101 100131 100191 100161
if exist %outputfile% del %outputfile%
cd /d %folder%
for %%s in (%stringlist%) do (
set string=%%s
for /f "delims==" %%F in ('dir /b /a-d *.*') do (
set filename=%%F
set /a count=0
for /f "delims==" %%L in ('type "!filename!"') do (
set line=%%L
if "!line:~0,6!"=="!string!" set /a count+=1
)
echo !filename! , !string! , !count!>>%outputfile%
)
)

type %outputfile%
Personally I would put the outputfile in a different folder. You'll see why.

Why didn't you just CONTINUE the other thread, SINCE that is essentially the code I supplied you with there?
