try:

Code: Select all

@echo off

dir /b "C:\*BEG*"
pause

dir /? |more

exit /b

[programchen]

no, I 'm asking how to find files with *BEG*. the file can be in root directory C", it can be in subfolder C:\abcd\efg\

I want to know both the file name and directory.

dir /b "C:\*BEG*" only check root directory

pls help. thanks

hi programchen,

Ed already showed you how to do it:

from dir /? command:
/S Displays files in specified directory and all subdirectories.


so it should be:
dir /s /b "C:\*BEG*"
