Find a String on Windows – FINDSTR

Hello,

If you are a Windows user and need to find a string on a very long txt file, welcome to findstring! I have years working with dos/windows and never heard about it… but is there!

findstr “some string” bigfile.txt>filteredfile.txt

Also support wild cards, REGEX, and a lot of crazy parameters 🙂

PD: Do not try to open the file with notepad or similar it will hang! (Microsoft style)

Regards,
AC
