Hey, Bill. You've got your thinking cap on too tight! > Find "@aol.com" \*\forward.ima >found.txt > > The idea is to search all subdirectories of the current director for > forward.ima and look to see if @aol.com is in there.
fgrep -r -i -l "@aol.com" forward.ima *. fgrep instead of egrep means treat the search text as plaintext, no regexp -r means do a recursive search -i means case-insensitive search -l means if there is a match, only output the filename that matched forward.ima is the filename you want to search *. means another filename you want to search, and this will match subdirectories Andrew 8) p.s. Thanks to Bill and Sandy; I learned something valuable from each of your techniques. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Landry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 17, 2004 11:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: find command ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Tolmachoff (Lists)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Is it possible to use the * in the find command? > > Example: > Find "@aol.com" \*\forward.ima >found.txt > > The idea is to search all subdirectories of the current director for > forward.ima and look to see if @aol.com is in there. Try: * dir /S c:\imail | grep Directory | gawk "{print $1,$3,$2}" | sed "s/Directory/grep aol\\.com/g" | sed "s/ of/\\forward\.ima/g" > aol-find.bat * aol-find.bat > aol-temp.txt * grep matches aol-temp.txt | gawk "{print $3}" > aol-found.txt Watch for word-wrapping - for ease of determining lines starts, I've added a * (be sure to remove the *). Adjust path to your IMail directory or appropriate sub-directory.
