Hey, Scott
1. I left it there so the IP could see it run and decide how to use the
data.
2. Possibly, but it was quick and dirty. Doesn't hurt with the "p"
3. Yes it does, and I forgot to remove that. Interestingly enough, it only
causes a problem undoubtedly after the drive letter. Elsewher

How long are the paths?
There are other ways to handle this, btw...
Try the following snippet. It should handle long folders even if Windows
complains about them

Thanks all. Scott's suggestion is close and at least got me pointed in the
right direction. Some of the paths are too long for DIR which throws a
wrench in the works, so I'm going to have to rely on windows search for now.
Powershell, unfortunately, currently isn't an option.

Good one, Scott.
Jeff, remember to add a % to each variable if used in a batch file, vs the
command line.

Good one, Scott.
Jeff, remember to add a % to each variable if used in a batch file, vs the

You're going to have to script that, certainly.
You could use robocopy or xcopy or do the whole thing in powershell, but no
native tool provides the logic you want without some form of scripting.
For instance, assuming that you were going to start in the C:\TEMP folder,
and search for "something
For /f "tokens=*" %i in ('dir *WORDS_TO_SEARCH* /s/a/b/ad') do robocopy /mir
"%i" DESTINATION_PATH
This will search a folder tree for directorys. Change the dir command to
eliminate the /s if you only want to search the root.
