So, I have an old project, let's call it my_project.

Now, I would like to work on it again, but I find that the file index.html is missing.

I have extensive backups, including k:\backups\localhost\weekly\XX\, where XX is a number between 1 and 52.

Unfortunately, many other projects have a file called index.htmll.

So, how do I I search for k:\backups\weekly\XX\my_project\index.html ? And not find all of those other index.html from many other projects (times 52) ?

It would be a bonus to find the newest, but I can always run a file compare on those that I do find.

  • You open k:\backups\weekly\XX\my_project and use the Explorer search field to search for what you want.

  • But then I have to open 52 folders :-( I want to do it with a single command. Was my question not clear? If so, please tell me and I will update it. But, it does say "where XX is a number between 1 and 52"

    Ah ok, you could use something like this in the command prompt:
