hello everybody,

i ll try to explain my problem in english, but i m french...so....
well,

i m trying to make a little batch to check extention file and once i got this information i have to check in each of files with the specific extention if there a string called " debut" or "FIN"
but i don't know how to reach my aim.

i ALREADY got this part:

Code: [Select]
if "%1%"=="" echo you have to WRITE wich extention you have to check.Like test.bat 117 && goto er_stx

if not "%1%"=="" goto vf_file

:vf_file
del out.txt
echo extention file to check is %1%
dir /B *.%1% > out.txt
echo Following Process will be checked:
FOR /F %%i in (out.txt) do @echo %%i

REM this following command doesn't WORKS but i don't know how to setup the findstr options.

REM FOR /F %%i in (out.txt) do findstr /f out.txt /c:"Debut" >> procs_ok.csv REM or .xls

goto fin

:fin
echo Batch file is ending.
pause
exit

:er_stx
echo Batch is ending due to a syntax error
exit


and once this thing is done i have to complete an .xls file with the repport file " procs_ok.csv

i ve tried to be as clear as possible,
sorry if my english is not so good than i think !!!!

so if anyone have a idea, i m listening !!!

thanx,

regards.
you can just use findstr like this
Code: [Select]c:\> findstr "yoursearchstring" *.txt
c:\> findstr "yourstring" *.dat
hi,
i've try what you said but it still doesn't work i i don't know why...
i've also try
this
Code: [Select]findstr /F:out.txt /I ^".*" >> prcs_ok.txt
and it print the files of the file out.txt containing characters in the cmd prompt but it's not sent in the procs_ok.txt,

i have another idea to apply filter,
i've seen that some process repport files had sometimes twice the same word in it,so i would like to apply a filter on the first word of the last line.
but apparently i'm not friendly with the findstr cmd....
so if anyone have an idea....i'm still open !!

thanx,

Regards.
