I am trying to write a batch file on a Windows 2003 Server that will do two things to hopefully make my life a little easier. The first thing I want it to do is search through a log file and see if a word or phrase exists. Second if it finds a match in the log file I want it to email the log file to me.
I some what have a working file for each piece but am unable to get them to work together. For the search piece I am able to run this:
find /i /c "test" "D:\Housekeeping Scripts\Logs\Test.txt"
I was redirecting this into another txt file where it would store:
---------- D:\HOUSEKEEPING SCRIPTS\LOGS\TEST.TXT: 0
That works, and I can email the log file to myself everytime the script runs whether it has found a match or not but what I really want if for it to only email it to me if it finds a match. I can't seem to tell if find is supposed to return a result code or not.
What I would like to see is something like this:
if (find more than one match)
{
send me an email (have a tool for this already)
{
Was trying to just use the DOS IF command but I couldn't get it to work. It doesn't have to be the DOS IF command though but it does have to be something I can incorporate into other scripts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Adam
