Hi Folks -
I was wondering if anyone could suggest an easy way in which I could scan a particular text file using multiple key words/phrases?
Thanks!

findstr does this automatically if you don't use the /C flag.

I remember showing you how to use the /G option with FINDSTR in one of your previous questions.

Yes, thank you Squash! It's working great.
However, when using the /F: switich as well, is there a way to put put which file the search strings were found in? thanks!
