Hi,
I'm struggling with the correct DOS Batch commands (XP and W7) to find a specific character "@" in any and all text files in one directory and to count those occurences. Here's what I've got, but still returning 0 count. If I put a specific file name in the FOR command, it WILL count any "@" that it finds. But doesn't seem to work with "." or "*.*) in the fileset parm which should cause the FOR command to read thru ALL files. I'm trying to display the found tokens with the %%G but that doesn't work. Not necessary, just for debugging. Any help is very appreciated.

REM Find and count all files with email addresses
REM Assume any user_data record with @ is valid email address
FOR /F "delims=@ eol=`" %%G IN (.) DO (CALL :CHECK %%G)
echo (
echo Number of Emails Sent = %count%
echo (
GOTO :eof
 
:CHECK %%G
set _DataIn=%%G
echo CHECK %_DataIn%
set /a count+=1
GOTO :eof

I think I've found it:

 
findstr /R /N "@" *.* | find /c ":"
