Find files containing a rev string

Comment:

I am trying to create a bat file that will run a search in G:\testing\temp folder. But I want it to only find .rpt files that contain the string "rev" anywhere in the name. I also need it to do this search on the subfolders that the G:\testing\temp folder has. Then to output the results in a .txt file on the C:\ drive. Does anyone know how to do something like this? Any help is appreciated.

Try this: dir g:\testing\temp\*rev*.rpt /s > c:\results.txt

Yes, Vernon is right. If you just want to list the file names, then you can also add the "/b" switch for DIR.
