Windows Batch: Search all files in file, if line contains "apple" or "tomato" echo it
batch-file, cmd, findstr, windows
Solution
`Findstr` already does this for you :
@findstr /i "tomato apple" *.txt
Replace `*.txt` with your wildcard (and tomato apple with the words you want).
If you must change the output, then `for` comes in handy :
@echo off
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i "tomato apple" *.txt') do @echo I just found a %%i
Problem
I'm trying to write a simple batch that will loop through every line in a file and if the line contains "apples" or "tomato" then to output that line. I have this code to find one string and output it but I can't get the second in the same batch. I also want it to echo the lines at it finds them. ``` @echo OFF for /f "delims=" %%J in ('findstr /ilc:"apple" "test.txt"') do ( echo %%J ) ``` It would need to find lines that contain either "apples" or "tomato" I can easily run the code above with the two lines I need but I need the lines to be outputted inter each other. For example I need: ``` apple tomato tomato apple tomato apple apple ``` NOT: ``` apple apple apple ``` THEN ``` tomato tomato tomato ``` Thanks in advance.
