I currently have a list of files in a folder that i need to iterate through and exclude the non production files that matches the pattern. how do i search for multiple strings in a batch command?
for example i have files as
- QA_test_1.txt
- QA_809_test.txt
- dev_93439_sd.txt
- stg_abc_sldkf_df.txt
- prod_4845_sdfd.txt
- prod_998_sdfd.txt
- live_lskd_sd3434.txt
- xyz_sdfdf_s3rer.txt
from the list above i need to exclude every file that has the word "dev", QA "Stg" and generate a list of files without them - which is
- prod_4845_sdfd.txt
- prod_998_sdfd.txt
- live_lskd_sd3434.txt
- xyz_sdfdf_s3rer.txt
The problem is - i am not able to find any batch command that can do a grep equivalent for multiple strings. FindStr does it only for one string and hence i am not able to get that working. here is code that i have
set i=0
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /B /A /S Path *.txt') do (
set /A i =1
rem put the file names in array
set list[!i!]=%%~na
rem try to find the file names
echo %%~na|find "dev" or "qa" or "stg" >nul
if errorlevel 1 (echo notfound) else (echo found %%~na )
)

Thank you for all the response. I was able to do it below way
echo %%~na|findstr /i /v "dev QA Stg" >nul
if errorlevel 1 (echo not found %%~na) else (echo %%~na>>newfile.txt)
