Utility to search for string in string

[flahmeshess]

In my batch, I want to search for a string in a environment variable,
possible ? Any utility to do that ?

eg.

SearchStr %1 %bigstring%

Is there any such Search utility that can search %1 in %bigstring% and
return an errorlevel for subsequent steps ?

Thanks very much.

Try this:

echo %bigstring% | find /i "%1"

Don't know why. This works on the command line but when I put it in a
batch *.bat, the errorlevel is not changed. To be exact, it changes
the first time but when I run the batch from the command line again,
the errorlevel is stuck with the old errorlevel regardless of whatever
values I use to search.

Help ?

Don't know why. I hope it's a typo cause I cannot explain why !
