Hello Born2achieve (remember me? ),

Do these command line snippets help you achieve your goal?

for %A in ( C:\Sample\*.txt ) do find "Core" "%~A" && echo %~fA>> output.txt

Below is the same but recurses the search into sub-folders, starting at C:\Sample,

for /r "C:\Sample" %A in ( *.txt ) do find "Core" "%~A" && echo %~fA>> output.txt

Hi Phyroply,

Thakns for your reply and sorry it's not working for me. Below is the output,

C:\Sample>search.bat
The following usage of the path operator in batch-parameter
substitution is invalid: %~A" && echo %~fA>> output.txt

For valid formats type CALL /? or FOR /?
search.bat was unexpected at this time.

Any suggestions or corrections

Double up the percent symbols when running the commands in batch files. E.g. "%A" should become "%%A".

sorry, still it doesn't finds the keyword.

This is my code

for /R %%A in (C:\Sample\*.txt) do find "core" "%%~A" && echo %%~fA>> output.txt

any suggestion please

Your script snippet's syntax is incorrect. Use one of the two lines I've suggested above.
