Utility to search for string in string

[Guest flahmeshess]

In my batch, I want to search for a string in a environment variable,

possible ? Any utility to do that ?

 

eg.

 

SearchStr %1 %bigstring%

 

Is there any such Search utility that can search %1 in %bigstring% and

return an errorlevel for subsequent steps ?

 

Thanks very much.

Try this:

 

echo %bigstring% | find /i "%1"

Don't know why. This works on the command line but when I put it in a

batch *.bat, the errorlevel is not changed. To be exact, it changes

the first time but when I run the batch from the command line again,

the errorlevel is stuck with the old errorlevel regardless of whatever

values I use to search.

 

Help ?

Let's have a look at your batch file!

Don't know why. I hope it's a typo cause I cannot explain why !
