how would i make a batch file to do a file search?

[vaxo]

this looks like it is somewhere along the lines.

Code

@echo OFF

for /f %%F in ('dir %2\%1 /s /b') do (
    <nul (set /p msg=%%~nxF )
    for /f %%G in ('dir %3\%%~nxF /s /b') do (
        if exist %%G (
            @echo found at %%G
        )
    )
)

%1 is the user provided file mask.

%2 is the user provided directory to search first.

%3 is the user provided directory to search second.

Call from the command line to generate a report:
FindAll *.dll d:\dir1 d:\dir2 > dll_report.txt 2

Hi 🤝

You can try something like that :

PHP Code


<?php 
@echo off
Title Searching files by Hackoo 2016
Mode con cols=90 lines=3
cls & color 9E
echo(
Set /p "Location=Enter the folder location where do you want to serach> "
cls & echo(
echo You chose this location "%Location%"
echo(
Set /p "FileName=Enter the file name to looking for> "
Set Tmp=Tmp.txt
Set SearchResult=SearchResult.txt
echo( & cls
echo(  & echo     Please Wait for moment .... Searching for "%FileName%" on "%Location%"
where /r "%Location%" "%FileName%" > %Tmp%
Cmd /U /C Type %Tmp% > %SearchResult%
Del %Tmp%
Start %SearchResult%

Hi hackoo can you make it list the file instead of making it write a txt like i would like it to say all files found called "anything" then a list of them and would you view delete the files and then have an option of a few of them or all files under the name "anything"

i am trying to make a file search and delete tool

I would like to make a file search and delete tool and i would like the location to be everywhere like search the whole computer

Also, creating over 3 threads about the same question is frowned upon.

I was unaware of the "where" command! Very interesting sir!

Well, yes, it's possible, but please try to do that little thing by yourself.
