Hey guys. I want to create a batch file that will search a website for a string and return a string to a .txt file if true and return a different string to a different .txt file if false. Any help would be great. Thanks

you will probably need wget if your going to do this with batch

someone posted some code here that might be useful for you

http://superuser.com/questions/568554/need-to-write-a-bat-file-to-select-all-the-text-on-a-webpage-and-paste-the-text

I see, ya!

Ultimately Id like to have an array of words to look for and cycle through them one by one with two output files (one for results found and one for results not found)

I was able to get WGet to download the text of a website. Now I am trying to search the txt file for strings and then output the string I am searching into a found or not found file... this is my code

@echo off
findstr /c "Justicar Aatrox" elophant.txt
if %errorlevel%==0 (
echo Justicar Aatrox >> skinsOwned.txt
) else (
echo Justicar Aatrox >> skinsNotOwned.txt
)

It is returning Justicar Aatrox into skinsOwned despite it not being present in elophant.txt

I just tried this

@echo off
findstr /c "Justicar Aatrox" elophant.txt
if %errorlevel%==1 (
echo Justicar Aatrox >> skinsNotOwned.txt
) else (
echo Justicar Aatrox >> skinsOwned.txt
)

which returned the same results. Clearly the problem is in the way I search. I think it is searching for any part of the string. So if I had another string with Aatrox in it or Justicar in it, it would return true.
