"\\/\\o\\/\\/" gave you a batch command to do this, namely:

Type LogName.log | findstr "Text To Search"

but that needs to be followed with something to detect whether or not the
string was found. Also, you seem to be interested in log files that contain
either "error" or "in use", which he did not mention.

You could try something like this:

findstr /i /c:"error" /c:"in use" LogName.txt
if errorlevel 1 (
echo/no errors in log file
) else (
echo/errors found in logfile
rem send message
)

Of course, if the log file lists filenames, there might be a file whose name
contains the string "error", so you can expect some false positives.
