select-string: Search for a pattern within a file.
$ Select-String -Path "${path\to\file}" -Pattern '${search_pattern}'
try on your machine
The command "Select-String" is used in PowerShell to search for patterns in a given file or set of files. Here's a breakdown of the provided command:
- "Select-String" is the main cmdlet (command-let) used in PowerShell to search for patterns in text files.
- "-Path" is a parameter used to specify the path of the file to search in. In this case, it is "${path\to\file}". Make sure to replace "${path\to\file}" with the actual file path you want to search in.
- "-Pattern" is another parameter used to specify the pattern you want to search for. In this case, it is '${search_pattern}'. Again, replace '${search_pattern}' with the actual pattern you want to search for.
So, when you run this command, PowerShell will search for the specified pattern ('${search_pattern}') within the file at the specified path (${path\to\file}).
