Here is my batch script:
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set scandate=%%c%%a%%b)
For /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/:." %%a in ("%TIME%") do (set scantime=%%a%%b%%c)
REM echo %scandate%_%scantime%
REM echo %1
REM echo %scans%
REM echo findstr /si /c:"%1" /f:%pgms%\z_dirs.txt > %1.txt
findstr /si /c:"%1" /f:"z_dirs.txt" > %1.txt
echo z:\ done
findstr /si /c:"%1" /f:"y_dirs.txt" >> %1.txt
echo y:\ done
findstr /si /c:"%1" /f:"x_dirs.txt" >> %1.txt
echo x:\ done
findstr /si /c:"%1" /f:"w_dirs.txt" >> %1.txt
echo w:\ donez:\dashboar\app\*.fex
z:\yxwxun0r\app\*.fex
z:\eqnksjzt\app\*.fex
z:\infoassi\app\*.fex
z:\mimzjyxz\app\*.fex
z:\pulsee1j\app\*.fex
z:\pulsecmb\app\*.fex
When running it for a known present word, it returns nothing. It seems like the wildcard is not expanding or otherwise it is not using the file list. Note: There are fex files in this directory, it does not have to find them in a lower level directory.
When taken out of the batch, and substituted, everything is fine:
C:\Documents and Settings\E41334\My Documents\pgms>findstr /si runevent z:\pulseisu\app\*.fex

z:\pulseisu\app\ticketrd.fex:-MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE RUNEVENT
When z_files.txt is forced to use pulseisu only, here are the results:
C:\Documents and Settings\E41334\My Documents\pgms>findstr /si runevent /f:"z_dirs.txt"
C:\Documents and Settings\E41334\My Documents\pgms>
What am I doing wrong?

What are you passing in for the argument (%1)?
I would put
ECHO.1=%1]
Near the beginning of your file. You are using %1 as the string to search for and you are also redirecting the output to %1.

RG, thanks for the feedback. The variable is being interpreted correct. I've placed an ECHO to see it, along with the other variables, in the batch file to see that they are substituted as intended (see the last 2 blocks of code for my usage). I commented them out in the first block of code after I verified that. The file is not getting overwritten. The redirection is to put the command output into a file with that name (plus a .txt extension). The file is created, so I know that is not the issue (it is just empty).

nc_jed,
Sorry for being so slow to respond. I must admit that I don't have my mind wrapped around exactly what it is you are trying to do. I was waiting to see if someone else who does would chime in. Having an example of what you are passing in for %1 would be helpful so that others could try to duplicate what you are doing.
You can use the * in [drive:][path]filename as part of the FINDSTR command. But I think your problem is in your usage of the * in the file specified by /F:. Don't think you can do that. Perhaps you could use a FOR loop to iterate through the files. Something like this:
Code: Select all
for /f %%a in (z_dirs.txt) do findstr /si /c:%1 "%%a" > %1.txtCode: Select all
for /r "%cd%" %%a in (*.fex) do echo.%%aLast edited by RG (09 Jul 2011 16:12)

The word 'runevent'.

Assuming z_dirs.txt contains a list of files, you need a FOR loop to iterate through them.

Will do the job, assuming %1 is found in some lines of the file(s)Code: Select all
for /f %%a in (z_dirs.txt) do findstr /si /c:%1 "%%a" > %1.txt
That did the trick. I guess I'm still a little frustrated that the /f flag doesn't understand wildcards as I think it should, but in this business you have to be flexible and creative. Kudos on the workaround!

Seems to me that
Code: Select all
for /f "delims=" %%a in (z_dirs.txt) do findstr /si /c:%1 "%%a" > %1.txt
