findstr: Find space-separated string(s) in all files.
$ findstr "${query}" *
try on your machine
This command is used to search for a specific string or pattern within files in the current directory.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
findstr
is a command-line tool in Windows used for searching strings in files.${query}
represents the variablequery
, which should be replaced with the specific string or pattern you want to search for.*
is a wildcard character that represents all files in the current directory. It can be replaced with a specific file name or a file extension to narrow down the search.
So, when you run this command, findstr
will search for the string specified by ${query}
within all the files in the current directory. It will then display the lines of the files where the string is found.
