Dear people's i need your help! first of all im sorry about my poor english, hope you understand me.. i wrote a code that finds a file inside a local drive or inside a FOLDOR xcopy X:\ "%TEMP%" /H /L /S /Y | find "FileName" As you can see, "X" presenting the local drive. For example: If i wants to find the "win.ini" file at drive "C" ill do like so: xcopy c:\ "%TEMP%" /H /L /S /Y | find "win.ini*" and ill get the next thing: C:\Windows\win.ini and its working! BUT.. i can't enter the adress that i got to a variable. lets say that i want to enter the "adress" of the file win.ini to a variable "X" how can i do it??

Your command, xcopy X:\ "%TEMP%" /H /L /S /Y | find "FileName" may find multiple files called "FileName" in different folders. You need to decide which one of those you need to copy to a variable. The following set variable FPATH to the last file found: for /f "delims=" %%a in ('xcopy X:\ "%TEMP%" /H /L /S /Y ^| find "FileName"') do ( set FPATH=%%a ) By the way, instead of using "find", the following command is a bit faster: xcopy "X:\FileName" "%TEMP%" /H /L /S /Y Also, the following command is even faster still: dir /s /b "X:\FileName"

Ohhh dude So much tnxxxx!!!!
