I am trying to write a batch file to look into a .txt log file and check for a return code BB3 (BB3 will be the only text in this file).

If BB3 is in the log file, execute bat1.bat.
If BB3 is not in the log file, execute bat2.bat.

I am really stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

-- log.txt --
BB3

-- read.bat --
@ECHO OFF
FIND "BB3" log.txt>nul
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO NOBB3
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO BB3

ECHO There was some error.
GOTO exit

:BB3
ECHO Log.txt contains BB3
CALL bat1.bat
GOTO exit

:NOBB3
ECHO Log.txt does not contain BB3
CALL bat2.bat
GOTO exit

:exit

Thanks DosX...I actually did it this way:

@echo off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

FOR /F "tokens=1" %%i IN (C:\BB_Log.txt) DO (
IF %%i==BB3 (CALL BB3.bat) ELSE (CALL NOBB3.bat)
)

It works....am I an idiot for using my way?
