Hi, I need help to write one MS-DOS batch file. I have one file 'FNin.txt' which contains following values srchstr1 srchstr2 srchstr3 ... srchstr999
I need to read each string from 'FNin.txt' and then search this string in all the text files present in sub-folders and write the file names that contain search string in another output file, say 'FNout.txt' in following format srchstr1 - file1.txt, file3.txt, file21.txt srchstr2 - file4.txt, file8.txt, file348.txt etc
I have to repeat above for all the strings present in 'FNin.txt'. I know FINDSTR can be used, but I want to know how can I write a batch file for it.
