How to use batch processing to open the folder where the file is located after searching for the specified file.

........Enter the file name to search for:
.......Searching, please wait......
Open the folder where the file is located

Try this:
Note that if there are many files, it may make your machine work hard!!

for /r %%i in (*.bat) do start %cd:~0,2%%%~pi

Is there a better way!

First, use tree to make a directory count for each partition and save it to a specified text, then search for files in the text.

@echo off
set /p a=Please enter the file to search (including extension):
echo Searching, please wait.........
for %%i in (c d e f g h) do @(
for /f %%j in ('dir %%i:\%a% /s/a/b') do start %%~pj
)

Do you want to find the file everywhere or only in one place?

If it is unique, the following code should work (copied from lxmxn):

@echo off set/p input=Please enter the file name to query for %%i in (c d e f) do ( for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /s/b/a-d %%i:\%input% 2^>nul') do ( start %%~dpsa&&goto :eof ) )

Thanks tianzizhi, there is another question. With your method, it cannot achieve full-disk search, only search the files in the drive where the bat is placed. It won't open the C:\Program Files folder, only the C drive.

Try my......

The method of ccwan doesn't work either. If you don't believe it, put the BAT on the desktop and see if you can find the files on drive D!

I've tried many times, it's okay!
What file are you looking for that can't be opened on d:?

In fact, this batch processing can still be modified. For example, if you want to find 1.txt but there are 3 to 5 in the computer, then remove &&goto :eof in the code. There will be as many 1.txts as there are folders opened. If you don't mind being tedious. ^_^

Modify the modification of ccwan to support file names with spaces.

@echo off set/p input=Please enter the file name to query: for %%i in (c d e f) do ( for /f "usebackq delims=" %%a in (`dir/s/b/a-d "%%i:\%input%" 2^>nul`) do ( start " " "%%~dpsa" ) )

Thanks tao0610, this is what I need, and I've learned something again.

Why is there no space after "start"?
