[program-l] Re: DOS Batch Files: File list expansion?




Hi, Ian

Probably not what you're looking for, but...you could fudge it by using the
'dir' command inside your batch file and re-direct your output to a file
which cold then be parsed?

For example, inside your batch file, you'd have

dir * >myresults.lst
find <string> myresults.lst | <command>

Or am I getting mixed up!!! <smile>
