Goran, check out the FindStr.exe command in your %windir%\system32 folder, it does exactly what you want. Specifically, you will keep appending your search strings as new lines in one text file, and search each line to include/exclude from your orig.txt
If your needs are going to grow to only a few search phrases, do this: find /V "PhraseA" orig.txt | find /V "PhraseB" | find /V "PhraseC" >final.txt but you will find that you will only get about 200 characters on that line length.

Is this possible? I have a file that I would like to remove some lines which have unique texts. Lets say "PhraseA", "PhraseB" and "PhraseC" I know that I could do Find /V "PhraseA" orig.txt >temp1.txt Find /V "PhraseB" temp1.txt >temp2.txt Find /V "PhraseC" temp2.txt >final.txt Now if this is all I had to do OK fine but over time I am going to accumulate more things to remove. So is there any way to pass the find command a list of things to remove and do it all in one shot?
