What are you trying to search for?
A file?
Text within a text file?

[ShadowThief]

What, like the find command or the dir command?

[rahhem]

some text files and other file on my harddrive, just like traditional windows search

[Squashman]

DIR /S *.txt "Another file.doc"

[rahhem]

Now the question where and how do I place to text commands?
Or anywhere ?

[rahhem]

so far this how i get , guys don't mind the stupid foreign language

Code: Select all

echo off 
title zoekopalles
color 9f
=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

:one
cls
echo Halo %username% mijn naam is Zoekopalles!
echo                 Welkome
echo Gelieve uw voornaam in te vullen:
echo.
echo.
set /p fnaam=
echo.
echo.
echo Hallo leuk om jou te ontmoeten %fnaam%!
pause>nul

:start 
Title Het Menu
cls
echo                        %TIME% %DATE%D%M%J%
echo.
echo                 1- PDF Bestanden
echo                 2- Word Bestanden
echo                 3- Refreshen 

set Choice=
set /p Choice=""
pause>nul

if '%Choice%'=='1' goto PDF Bestanden
if '%Choice%'=='2' goto Word Bestanden
if '%Choice%'=='3' goto Refreshen

cls 
echo '%Choice%' is niet geldig
ping localhost -n 2 >Nul
echo Probeer Opniuew 
ping localhost -n 2 >nul
cls
goto start

any subjections where i should place the directory code?

I think there is a couple of people that frequent this forum that speak your language. Hard to tell where you want to put it. I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish. You have GOTO statements in your code with NO labels to GOTO. Hard to give you any advice.

[rahhem]

please they code did not work , each time i run the batch file , it just gives the name of the c drive and volume and the serial number?

can any one help. just a directories name to search for pdf and word file please help me folk this is my last the make something good in for me please

I'm not sure, maybe this is a first step (if i don't misinterpret what you want to do):

Code: Select all

@echo off 
title zoekopalles
color 9f

:one
cls
echo Hello %username% my name is Zoekopalles ^(?FindAll?^)!
echo Welcome
echo Please enter your first name:
echo.
echo.
set /p "firstName="
echo.
echo.
echo Hi nice to meet you %firstName%!
pause

:start 
Title The menu
cls
echo %TIME% %DATE%
echo.
echo 1- PDF files
echo 2- Word files
echo 3- Refresh

set "choice="
set /p "choice="

if "%choice%" == "1" goto :pdfFiles
if "%choice%" == "2" goto :wordFiles
if "%choice%" == "3" goto :refresh

cls 
echo "%choice%" is not valid
>nul ping localhost -n 2
echo Try again.
>nul ping localhost -n 2
cls
goto :start


:pdfFiles
rem search C:\ and all subdirectories for Word files
pushd "C:\"
echo DIR "C:\" /S "*.pdf"
popd
pause
goto :eof

:wordFiles
rem search C:\ and all subdirectories for Word files
pushd "C:\"
echo DIR "C:\" /S "*.doc" "*.docm" "*.docx" "*.replaceWithOtherWordFileExtensions"
popd
pause
goto :eof

:refresh
echo don't know what to do here
pause
goto :eof
