I have two files: filetest.txt ============ SSISPACKAGE1.dtsx SSISPACKAGE2.dtsx SSISPACKAGE3.dtsx SSISPACKAGE4.dtsx SSISPACKAGE5.dtsx SSISPACKAGE6.dtsx SSISPACKAGE7.dtsx SSISPACKAGE8.dtsx filetest2.txt ============= \\central_test_server\SSIS_Packages\Daily.bat \\central_test_server\SSIS_Packages\Weekly.bat \\central_test_server\SSIS_Packages\Monthly.bat \\central_test_server\SSIS_Packages\Quarterly.bat \\central_test_server\SSIS_Packages\SemiAnnually.bat \\central_test_server\SSIS_Packages\Annually.bat What I need is to cycle through filetest.txt, then search the files identified in filetest2.txt for the filename and output to a file the results. I am trying to identify in well over 100 bat files where each of about 100 SSIS Packages are running. I'm doing this in Windows batch, have tried about 20 various approaches without success - any help would be greatly appreciated.
