You want to do "grep" like function in MS-DOS right? The command is FIND, but unlike grep it can't be entered on its own. It can only be used when it is piped to. Here are the examples: 1) Want to know all batch files on the system (files that has "bat" as extension dir *.bat | find ".bat" 2) List all directories: dir |find "<DIR>" 3) List all lines in a file that has the word apple: type filename |find "apple"

The copy if Turbo C I have came with grep, and it works just like grep in Unix. It is copyrighted software but this is what you are looking for. -- Paul Reitelbach * I like life.
