title: Windows command line to findstr 1 level of subdirectory down
body: <p>Looking for the command line (or batch) that will do the following,</p>
  
  <p>I have 3 levels of directories and need to search for a specific string contained in text files, searching all files, 1 level subdirectory down.</p>
  
  <p>So I know this will recursively search for the string</p>
  
  <p>findstr /S "STRING" *</p>
  
  <p>But I don't want the search to go father than only 1 subdirectory level down.</p>
  
  <p>Seems like a simple thing but I could not find anything solid. The closest thing I could find was something like this thread..</p>

  <p>However, before going batch is there a simpler (command line) way to this rather, apparently simple task?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time!</p>
