DOS FIND Query

[Matt-Page]

Hi,

I'm struggeling to get find to work in one of my scripts.

I have error checking and i want different outcomes if it doesn't find "HP LaserJet 4 Plus Driver" to if it does.

If i search for "12233rfHP LaserJet 4 Plus Driver" it still finds the string, even with the /I flag not set. (I have another script calling the below script which outputs to Results.txt)

Is there another way of doing this? (See script below).

Echo Searching for HP LaserJet 4 Plus Driver String...
find "HP LaserJet 4 Plus" Results.txt
	if not %errorlevel% == 0 goto FAIL
	echo %1 SUCCESS! HP LaserJet 4 Plus Driver is being used! >>Success.txt
	goto FINISH
:FAIL
	Echo %1 Is Not Using the HP LaserJet 4 Plus Driver" >>Failures.txt
:FINISH
exit

I think you made a typo...

remove the quote after (Driver")
seems to work now

Ah yea i did spot that, earlier, and changed that but it still finds the key.

It just found "123ewdfHP LaserJet 4 Plus"

Any other ideas?

ummm, are we talking about the same thing ?

with the modded batch file:

if text in 'results.txt' = "HP LaserJet 4 Plus" then success.txt is written
if text in 'results.txt' = "1234-HP LaserJet 4 Plus" then success.txt is written
if text in 'results.txt' = "HP LaserJet 4 Plus-1234" then success.txt is written

if text in 'results.txt' = "HP LaserXXXJet 4 Plus" then failure.txt is written
if text in 'results.txt' = "wibbleywoo" then failure.txt is written


...which is what you want isn't it ?


....are you changing the search string to test the code or something ?
because it'll find the string in "123ewdfHP LaserJet 4 Plus"
but not in "HP Laser123ewdf Jet 4 Plus"
