Your comment really isn't useful to solving your problem. If something isn't working the way you want it too then you probably didn't explain what you wanted clearly enough.

I look for script who will find source code when i write test.txt it will search hard drive and show me source code to this file.

You need to be exact in your explanation to get a batch file that is appropriate.

I think you are saying that you want a batch file called search.bat and you want to type

search test.txt

and it will search drive c: and open the file test.txt in notepad. Is that right?

No . FOR EXAMPLE if i write test.txt in .bat it will be look for test.txt in hard drive and if find test.txt it will show me that test.txt was saved in C:\user\deskop or for example in D:\Downloads. In my view it should be build with function FOR.

Squashman gave you the code that does that.

Here it is in a batch file - call it search.bat and then type

search test.txt

Thanks guys.
