findstr: Find space-separated string(s) in all files recur[s]ively.
$ findstr /s "${query}" *
try on your machine
The command "findstr /s "${query}" *" is a Windows command used to search for a specific string within files and folders from the current directory down to subdirectories.
Here's the breakdown of each element in the command:
- "findstr" is the command used to search for strings in files.
- "/s" is an option for the 'findstr' command that specifies searching through all subdirectories as well.
- "${query}" is a placeholder representing the string you want to search for. You need to replace it with the actual string you want to find.
- "*" is a wildcard that stands for all files in the current directory.
So, when you run this command, it will search for the specified string across all files (in the current directory and its subdirectories) and display the lines containing the matching string.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
