Find a file with the same name in multiple folders that can be anything
Okay, so I have the code
cd ..
cd servers
for /d %%i in (*) do (
cd logs
findstr /R 76561* "*_MA_output_log.txt" >> "......toolspre-results.txt"
)
However, this code doesn't seem to work the way I want it to- that is to say, it does not find the file in the log folder. The directories are structured pretty simply: its ..servers(something)logsand the code itself is in ..tools
..servers(something)logs
..tools
I have researched a bit before asking here, and thats where I got the for loop from but it doesn't work for me.
For /?
@Compo I have updated my code, any suggestions? It still won't work

This code works
cd "%~dp0..servers"
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('dir /b /a:d') do (
if exist "%%Alogs" (
echo Found logs folder, switching directories...
pushd "%%Alogs"
if exist "*_MA_output_log.txt" (
echo Found file, executing code
findstr /R 76561* "*_MA_output_log.txt" >> "......toolspre-results.txt"
goto Parse
) else (
echo MultiAdmin output does not exist!
goto End
)
popd
) else (
echo Logs folder not found!
goto End
)
)
Not related to your original problem but if you are looking for
76561 anywhere in the line then the asterisk is not needed and in fact it can give you wrong results ; for instance 76562 will also match . Because you've made 1 optional by 1*– sst
