Search results to txt file.

I'm looking for the text file to be editable.

I thind you can do search in dos I seem to remember its findstr and you can pipe it to a text file

look here
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/find.mspx?mfr=true

specifically about 2/3 down the page about using the dir command with the /s switch

simply append  " > c:\searchresults.txt " to the end of your command to direct the results to a text file.

obviously start small and test to get your syntax right

Easy..  In a command prompt:   dir /s  *.txt   > result.txt

Ok, im looking for the syntax.  I want to search every file on the T:\ driveand return all .pst files while saving to a text file.  the below is what i have so far, not currently creating the "result.txt" file.

dir /s *.pst > result.txt

Yes.

If its not creatingthe file, that means you might not have write permissions on the curretn direcotry.

I got it:

dir /s *.pst > c:\result.txt

I think dangle79 answered what i was looking for 1st.
