findstr: Find a literal string (containing spaces) in all text files.
$ findstr /c:"${query}" *.txt
try on your machine
The command findstr
is a command-line utility in Windows that is used to search for specific strings of text in files.
In this specific command:
findstr
is the command itself./c:"${query}"
specifies the search string or pattern. The${query}
is typically a placeholder for the actual string you want to search for. The/c
switch is used to define the literal string to be searched.*.txt
represents the file(s) on which the search will be performed. In this case, it searches for files with the.txt
extension. The asterisk (*
) is a wildcard that matches any characters before the extension.
So overall, the command searches for the specific string or pattern (represented by ${query}
) within all the .txt
files in the current directory.
