Have you got a copy of 'grep' setting around? That will do it. The alternative would be to write a fancy batch program that would do some fancy piping. i.e. For %1 in... do this and pipe the output into this file here.... (short pause whilst I actually look up what I'm talking about...) @Echo off FOR %%A in (%1) do find "%2" %%A >> %3 Copy that into a batch file. The calling syntax is: batch.bat fileset string file_name fileset = file to search (wildcards allowed) string = string you are looking for (i.e. E:) file_name = the file you want the results stored in I hope that's clear. Drop me a line if it isn't.
