Help Needed in Text File

[born2achieve]

Hi, I have a folder which has 20 text files and i need to find a word "Core" on the text files and and need to list out the file name where the text "Core" exists.

Code: Select all

for /R %%a in (C:\Sample\*.txt) do find "%Core" %%a >> output.txt

But the above code is not working as expected. any sample code to achieve this please

[Squashman]

Findstr /m /s "Core" *.txt

Hi Squashman,

I did copy your code and created .bat file and executed. id didn't do anything. no reaction. actually i supposed ot get a output file with file names where the keyword exists.

Any help plesse

If you get no output from that command, then there are no files that contain the word "Core"

However, if you think there might be instances of "core", "CORE", "CoRe", or some other weird casing going on in the files, you can try

Code: Select all

findstr /m /s /i "core" C:\Sample\*.txt>>output.txt

Did you call your batch file findstr.bat ?
