findstr writes the filename, when you use wildcards.

Alternatives:

use another command, that doesn't write the filename in the same line as the content:

find "TEST" *.dat |find "TEST" >output.txt

or:

use findstr without wildcards (use a forloop to supply one filename at a time)

for %%i in (*.dat) do findstr "TEST" %%i >>output.txt
