Windows CMD FINDSTR STRING AND COPY FILE
I have a folder with subfolders include txt and pdf files. There is a Pdf file for each txt file which has nearly same name.
For example; for each ABC_R10.txt --> there is a ABC).pdf file.
In Windows 10, with a batch file,
I want to search specific string in a .txt file with FINDSTR command, and copy files, which contain my string, into current folder. I achieved proper code until this point.
CLS
@ECHO OFF
ECHO FIND BUKUM
findstr /m /s /i /p /c:"BUKUM" *.txt > logfile.xls
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('findstr /m /s /i /p /c:"BUKUM" *.txt') do ^
copy "%%a" "%cd%"
if errorlevel 1 echo nothing found.
PAUSE
CLS
EXIT
But I want to find file name of exact match but get pdf file with similar name, not txt file.
I have to get ABC of ABC_R10.txt and add ).pdf string and get ABC).pdf
Substring of _R occurs each .txt file.
How can I achieve it?

First you should show your code. If iterating the .txt file with a for variable use the modifier%%~nAfor example to return the name without extension and append your.pdfextension instead.

Changing the scope of your question isn't fair when there is already an answer that does solve your original question. Reason: The answer is now invalid, which will lead to downvotes to the answer (which doesn't deserve it, because it answered your original question) If you have to change the scope of your question, it's better to ask a follow-up question (and add a link to this one for reference). (PS: as long as there is no answer yet, changing your question is not a problem)
