When I read your question I wondered what the batch file would be good for? Obviously you already know the string (otherwise you wouldn't know what you are searching in the text file). What am I missing?

Perhaps he's looking for some sort of regex matching, like grep -o?

The OP hasn't returned since he posted in almost two days - more likely to have been a student asking an assignment question on fifteen different tech forums.
