I believe you are right, it would take multiple batch files to do all those things. As for exporting into a spreadsheet, I haven't heard of a batch that could do that. Maybe somebody else has.
: : I have A LOT (hundreds) of txt files in multiple subfolders, spread across 4 networked servers. They contain data (name, company, tax id, phone number, etc.). I would like to make a batch to search all files in all of those subfolders, and export certain info into a spreadsheet (actual filename searched, and specific data found inside: name, company, tax id, phone).
: Also, would it be possible for the batch to DEL the file IF it found a specific tax id inside the file? Would it be listed on the exported spreadsheet, or not?
: Based on my limited knowledge of DOS, it seems that several individual batches need to be created... unless you can create/call a batch within a batch???
: Thanks.
