I found this code and tried to modify it for my purposes. I wanted to find the word "cookie" in some text based files and then delete the file if found. If the word "cookie" is on its own line, the file is deleted. But if the word is in the middle of a string, it is not deleted. Any thoughts on how to fix this? ---------------- @echo off setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion pushd d:\Temp for /f "tokens=* delims=* " %%e in ('dir/b/a-d *.pkg') do ( for /f "tokens=* delims=* " %%a in (%%e) do ( echo %%a | find "cookie" > nul if not errorlevel 1 echo del %%e ) )

What if a file has a line with cookie on a line by itself and the same file has cookie within a string? What then? ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

@echo off for /f "delims=" %%f in ('findstr /m /x /c:"cookie" d:\Temp\*.pkg') do ( echo del %%f )
