  goto scsc
)

how to write my code with findstr?

I have a problem to save the path with findstr

findstr  /c:\users\%username%\Documents\ "uset g_save_format \"2\""
Solution 
  • >nul find "uset g_save_format ""2""" log.txt && (
  echo "uset g_save_format "2"" was found.
) || (
  echo "uset g_save_format "2"" was NOT found.
)

    In FIND (though it is not documented by MS) command quotes are escaped with quotes. You can try also with FINDSTR -

    findstr  /c:"uset g_save_format \"2\""
