I have been reading great posts in this forum and got close to what I want to do but couldn't figure out the exact code.

I want to create a windows batch file to do following:

  • Perform a looped search for each line item of a text file (this is a list of keyword) to locate files in a a specific directory
  • For this search partial match is okay.
  • Each time a file is found, move it to a predefined directory (e.g. C:\temp\search_results)

Thanks.
