How to search a string in a file? - batch-file

Question

I am writing a batch file to read all the files within the folder.
Below is my code:
#echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for %%I in (C:\test\*.print_job.*) do (
Set Name=%%~nxI
echo !Name!
)
pause
I am able to get all the .print_job files but now I want to read all the files and look for a specific identifier.
if the file contains "MOUNT" then move that file to C:\Folder1
if the file contains "PROD" then the file should get moved to
C:\Folder2
if the file contains "SPI" then the file should get moved to
C:\Folder3
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

#echo off
rem string target destination
call :movefiles "MOUNT" "C:\test\*.print_job.*" "C:\Folder1"
call :movefiles "PROD" "C:\test\*.print_job.*" "C:\Folder2"
call :movefiles "SPI" "C:\test\*.print_job.*" "C:\Folder3"
goto :eof
:movefiles
if not exist "%~3" md "%~3"
for /f "delims=" %%A in ('2^>nul findstr /l /m /c:"%~1" "%~2"') do (
move "%%~A" "%~3"
)
goto :eof
Use of call :movefiles to handle each of the 3 strings to
search for in the target files.
Call syntax: call :movefiles <string> <target> <destination>
Makes the destination directory if not exist. If string found
in a target file, the file will be moved into the destination
folder.
The findstr arguments used are:
/l Uses search strings literally.
/m Prints only the filename if a file contains a match.
/c:string Uses specified string as a literal search string.
You can insert rd "%~3" after the for loop if you want to
remove empty destination folders.
To loop every 2 seconds:
#echo off
:main
rem string target destination
call :movefiles "MOUNT" "C:\test\*.print_job.*" "C:\Folder1"
call :movefiles "PROD" "C:\test\*.print_job.*" "C:\Folder2"
call :movefiles "SPI" "C:\test\*.print_job.*" "C:\Folder3"
timeout /t 2 /nobreak >nul
goto :main
:movefiles
if not exist "%~3" md "%~3"
for /f "delims=" %%A in ('2^>nul findstr /l /m /c:"%~1" "%~2"') do (
echo move "%%~A" "%~3"
)
goto :eof
You may need to use Ctrl+C to end the script as it is in a continuous loop.
If you can use a task scheduler instead then that could work.

Answer 2

If a file name with the search word removed is different it had been in there.
#echo off
for %%I in (C:\test\*) do Call :Sub "%%I"
Pause
Goto :Eof
:Sub
Set "Name=%~nx1"
if "%Name%" neq "%Name:MOUNT=%" (move "%~1" "C:\Folder1\" & Goto :Eof)
if "%Name%" neq "%Name:PROD=%" (move "%~1" "C:\Folder2\" & Goto :Eof)
if "%Name%" neq "%Name:SPI=%" (move "%~1" "C:\Folder3\" & Goto :Eof)
