Subj : another batch file...

I have seen the redirection symbols turned backwards. And I wonder if that
might help. I get no results even though I know there are files with that
string in them.

List.dat contains 26 file names

---------------CALLING.BAT---------------

dir c:\SBBS\DATA\logs\*.log /b > list.dat

:START
:: list.dat > find /n "New user" %1 > results.txt
find /n "New user" %1 < list.dat >> results.txt

@echo %1

shift

@echo %1

if %1 == "" goto stop
goto START

:stop
notepad results.txt



---------------CALLING.BAT---------------


I get this message back...
c:\TEMP\SBBS>calling

c:\TEMP\SBBS>dir c:\SBBS\DATA\logs\*.log /b  1>list.dat

c:\TEMP\SBBS>find /n "New user"   0<list.dat 1>>results.txt
ECHO is on.

c:\TEMP\SBBS>shift
ECHO is on.
goto was unexpected at this time.
c:\TEMP\SBBS>if  == "" goto stop
c:\TEMP\SBBS>

.... Chopped cabbage: It's not just a good idea, it's the slaw!
