The following code displays .txt files of the current directory which contain 111 AND 222 AND 333.

Code: Select all

@echo off

for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b *.txt') do (
  for /f "delims=" %%b in ('
    findstr /c:"111" "%%a" ^>nul ^&^&
    findstr /c:"222" "%%a" ^>nul ^&^& 
    findstr /mc:"333" "%%a"
  ') do (
    echo "%%b"
  )
)

pause

it's working sorry my mistake but it's not deleting the files i'm tring but i can't this is what i have:

Code: Select all

@echo off

for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b *.txt') do (
  for /f "delims=" %%b in ('
    findstr /c:"hey" "%%a" ^>nul ^&^&
    findstr /c:"gh" "%%a" ^>nul ^&^& 
    findstr /mc:"delete" "%%a"
  ') do (
    echo %%b
del %%b
  )
)
pause

But the ECHO command shows the right files?
In this case it could be that you've got file names with spaces. Try to enclose the variable in double quotes.

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b *.txt') do (
  for /f "delims=" %%b in ('
    findstr /c:"hey" "%%a" ^>nul ^&^&
    findstr /c:"gh" "%%a" ^>nul ^&^&
    findstr /mc:"delete" "%%a"
  ') do (
    echo %%b
    del "%%b"
  )
)
pause

i run it as administrator and it says file not founded

[aGerman]

I see. If you run it as administrator the working directory is %SystemRoot%\system32.
If you want to run it in the batch directory you could try this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b *.txt') do (
  for /f "delims=" %%b in ('
    findstr /c:"hey" "%%a" ^>nul ^&^&
    findstr /c:"gh" "%%a" ^>nul ^&^&
    findstr /mc:"delete" "%%a"
  ') do (
    echo %%b
    del "%%b"
  )
)
popd
pause
