Guest flahmeshess Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 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.

Guest flahmeshess Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Utility to search for string in string 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 ?
