Does anyone kno how to use or access the search function of windows through DOS
Have you tried the 'find' comand?
Cheers:Quote:
FIND [/V] [/C] [/N] [/I] "string" [[drive:][path]filename[ ...]]
/V Displays all lines NOT containing the specified string.
/C Displays only the count of lines containing the string.
/N Displays line numbers with the displayed lines.
/I Ignores the case of characters when searching for the string.
"string" Specifies the text string to find.
[drive:][path]filename
Specifies a file or files to search.
If a path is not specified, FIND searches the text typed at the prompt
or piped from another command.
dir /s <file name>
not exactly windows but it will search the dir you in and all subdirectories for the file. if done from c:\ it will search the entire drive
what do u mean by string?
"string" would be a word or group of words you want to find within the file you are searching for such as "hello".
