FIND: Invalid Switch – not sure what is causing this error

September 21, 2022

I am trying to find a specific substring within a string and when I use this code:

For /f "delims=" %%a in (Differences.log) do echo "%%a" | find /I "not admin" do if errorlevel 1 ( DiscordSendWebhook.exe -m "%%a" -n "n0t_k!p" do timeout /t 10 ) else ( Echo Player is not Admin ) do timeout /t 1

It throws this error.

FIND: Invalid Switch

I am using this code to step through a large text file with hundreds of lines that look along the lines of this:

[2022.09.21-03.33.41:653][917]Player Spicejunky#54619 entered movement mode Flying (player is not admin)

It takes the lines and uses the "DiscordSEndWebHook" to send the message into Discord. I am trying to NOT send messages that contain "not admin". This code works just fine when using it without the find statement, but it sends all messages:

For /f "delims=" %%a in (Differences.log) do DiscordSendWebhook.exe -m "%%a" -n "n0t_k!p" do timeout /t 1

>Solution :

For /f "delims=" %%a in (Differences.log) do (
 echo "%%a" | find /I "not admin" >nul
 if errorlevel 1 (
  DiscordSendWebhook.exe -m "%%a" -n "n0t_k!p" 
  timeout /t 10
 ) else ( Echo Player is not Admin )
 timeout /t 1
)

This will send any not-"not admin" lines to discord (then an 11second timeout) and report player is not admin for "not admin" lines, then a 1-second timeout.
