Is there any program that can search for strings.
For example, seach c:\abcd.txt "Matchless Under Heaven"
would display on the screen all lines in c:\abcd.txt that contain "Matchless Under Heaven".
It would be best if it supports wildcards, like seach *.txt "Matchless Under Heaven".
If there really is one, please briefly introduce the syntax.
"CD" can only display the current directory on the screen. Is there any way to write the current directory into SET?
Is there any program that can copy based on a string? For example, copy "Matchless Under Heaven" *.txt c:\windows would copy all text files in the current directory containing "Matchless Under Heaven" to c:\windows.
Many thanks in advance!

A program for finding strings, like the FIND command, will do.

As for “a program that can copy based on a string”, you can use XFIND together with COPY to do it. But since a temporary file is needed in between, you can instead use the XCOPY in DR-DOS, which supports list files, to achieve this effect.

Please explain in detail. How do they work together? Best if you can give a few examples.

I beg you on my knees.

For example, try this:

for %f in (*.txt) do find %f "Matchless Under Heaven"

For example, seach c:\abcd.txt "Matchless Under Heaven"
would display on the screen all lines in c:\abcd.txt that contain "Matchless Under Heaven".
How do you do that?

Use this:
find c:\abcd.txt "Matchless Under Heaven"

Last question:
"CD" can only display the current directory on the screen. Is there any way to write the current directory into SET?

If you want to write it into SET, try this:

CD|NSET CD=$1

Xiaolong is back... welcome

What is CD|NSET CD=$1?
What is NSET?

NSET sends the screen output into the specified variable...

Doesn't work.

Doesn't work.

Did you download the NSET.COM file?
