Fix findstr to ignore matching filenames with path
Comment
1 / 1
To modify the findstr
command in Windows to ignore matching filenames with a path, you can use the /C:
option along with the "*"
wildcard. Here's an example:
batchfindstr /C:"*string*" "C:\path\to\files\*.txt"
In this example:
/C:"*string*"
specifies the search string using the/C:
option. The*
wildcard matches any number of characters."C:\path\to\files\*.txt"
specifies the path to the directory containing the files you want to search (C:\path\to\files
) and the file extension (*.txt
).
By using the *
wildcard in the /C:
option, the findstr
command will ignore the matching filenames with a path and only search for the provided string within the file contents.
Make sure to adjust the path and search string to match your specific requirements.
Note: The findstr
command searches for text within files and supports various options for filtering and formatting the output. Refer to the findstr
documentation (findstr /?
) for more information on its usage and available options.
