I need some help.  I am using an external variable (%1) and in my
bat(ch) file In want it to search (%1) for for sometext and if it finds
it, exit, and if it doesn't say so.

eg.

LOOK.BAT TEXTFILE.TXT

 (looking in %1)=TEXTFILE.TXT search it to see if it finds .TXT
   if it does, print this is a text file.
   if not, print this is not a text file.
