      Or like this:

      @echo off

      set string=TEST

      REM When containing whitespaces, surround full path with double-quotes:
      set file=%CD%\something.txt

      FINDSTR /C:”%string%” %file%
      if errorlevel 1 echo Did NOT find “%string%” in %file% & goto :EOF
      echo Found “%string%” in %file%
