Question

I am looking for a batch file to search through a txt file and if it finds the word “Failed” then EXIT 1. Any help??

Answer 1

here is something similar to what Garrett said, but you can run it as a background process while for instance displaying some other info on stdout:

@echo off
@start /wait FIND /C /I "SearchPhrase" path-to-your-file\filename.abc
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (do-something)
