How do I - ffind - with multiple items

[jimklein]

Is there a way to do multi-searches using ffind?

Something like:

ffind /t"os=vista64" && "servicepack=1" *.txt

(on multiple lines within the same file)

Thanks,
Jim

Only if they're on the same line (insert a * between the strings), or if you can do it with a regular expression (/E"...").

Thanks - !
But it looks like bfind doesn't work with 64bit windows and hasn't been updated lately.

Yea - I'd really like it to do finds across multiple lines.

Feature request? (& thanks)

This (kludge) seems effective to find batch files containing both "foo" and
"for". For two search strings, an alias might be appropriate. For more, you
could write a batch file to compose the necessary command line.

v:\> do file in /p ffind /b /t"foo" *.bat;*.btm ( ffind /b /t"for" %file )
V:\cursor01.btm
V:\dotest2.btm
V:\losserror.btm

Try

ffind /v /e"os=vista64|servicepack=1" *.txt

How about something like ffind /t"os=vista64" *.txt | ffind /t"servicepack=1"

Sorry. My suggestion only works if you get some surrounding lines as well.
