Edit Question
Title
Body
I had to switch off my windows search indexing in Windows 7 as the old hard disk was constantly making noise with indexing switched on! Now I want to use Windows command prompt to search for a specific text term within all files located within the current directory and sub directories How do I use the Windiows command findstr to search subdirectories? Currently, when I open a command prompt and change directory to C:\Users\Damien\Documents\Research\2012July and run the command findstr "thesis" *.tex /S , I get the following error : FINDSTR: Cannot open /s This command will search the current directory if I remove /S, but I want to be able to search for text within subfolders also.
