using find command in ms dos batch file 1

[UncleScooby]

Can the find command be used to locate variable content ?

e.g.

find "fixed content" c:\logs\test.log > c:\logs\new.log

works fine but when I substitute the fixed content with a variable
e.g.

find %Date% c:\logs\test.log > c:\logs\new.log

I get a find format error. Any help appreciated.

>[tt]find %Date% c:\logs\test.log > c:\logs\new.log[/tt]
Try this?
[tt]find [red]"[/red]%Date%[red]"[/red] c:\logs\test.log > c:\logs\new.log[/tt]
