Im trying to search for files as a batch kinda like when your in a folder and you can type what your looking for and it will display names of files with that sting within that file but I want to use it as a variable in a batch
Kinda like
@echo off
:Start
Title Details Search
set /P "result1=Number1"
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i "%result%" "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\Folder\*"') do @echo %result1% found in %%~nxi
set /P "result2=Number2: "
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i "%result2%" "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\Folder\*"') do @echo %result2% found in %%~nxi
Pause
It wont allow me to do more than one, where the one below works great with a special thanks to Gerhard Barnard but its only one
@echo off
:Start
Title Details Search
set /P "result=what would you want to search today?: "
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i "%result%" "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\Folder\*"') do @echo %result% found in %%~nxi
Pause
The outcome im trying to get is something like
Bob 543-434-4324 Tom 234-253-2463
Where the name is the filename and the number is what I typed it. So if I type it in the number it will display next to the filename it found Note- These are not real numbers I just typed random numbers
So as per your change in question, searching for multiple numbers. You need to add your text seperated by a whitespace in your search. i.e 09122 123441 881992
@echo off
:Start
Title Details Search
set /P "result=what would you want to search today?: "
for %%a in (%result%) do (
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i "%%a" "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\Folder\*.rtf"') do @echo %%~nxi %%a
)
