It’s nice to know about FIND, and @G.R. FINDSTR. I wonder how old are these DOS commands. I also wonder why MSFT couldn’t simply use the gnu grep. In absence of better information, I’ll suppose MSFT has a chronic profound affliction of “not-invented-here” syndrome.

Why you didn’t use FINDSTR command instead of FIND?

Thank you for sharing the info.
Indeed Find is grep like but alas not grep

with grep, tr, cut it seems. If only Mic had given a little bit of attention to another side of the user interface- one as powerful as the command line. It would have the support of majority of the programmers.

THANKS for sharing! I used to use grep and cat on unix which came in very handy. now the find and type commands will be very handy as well. THANKS!!!!
