Thank you both! !k, I tried your approach, but it didin't work. I added test cases to my file, and the syntax you describe couldn't find any strings, let alone substrings. If I put the word "project" in an html file finstr "\<project\>" couldn't find it. I'm running DOS on Winser...

Hi, I need to find a string that 's standalone -- i.e., not embedded in another string. For example, I'd like to find "project" but not find "projectile" Is there a way to do this? With findstr, I tried "/<project/>" but that returned no hits. thanks for helping! bill
