If you can help...My mind id blank on this....

I issue a simple string search for an error and once found I need to step back 3 lines to find out what the error was.

how would I step back the 3 lined and display the string

my find string:

findstr /i /c:"error" c:\acstest.x >

My thanks for any help

Not so easy to do with dos batch scripting. Might be easier with javascript or vbscript.
