Hi I have this batch running on pure dos. However it is not able to search to all directory and subfolder.
I do not know how to program it to seach recursively to find *.gho.

Greatly appreciate if someone can help me on the code.

Thank you.


set drive=
if exist E:\*.gho set drive=E:
if exist F:\*.gho set drive=F:
if exist G:\*.gho set drive=G:

========================================

also how can i modify code to search through all root directory to find *.gho ?

Thank you.



set %ghofile= [ Cannot locate ghost file ]

FOR /R %%l IN (*.gho) do set ghofile=%%l


@echo off
echo ghost file = %ghofile%


pause
