PowerShell FINDSTR eqivalent?
Here's the quick answer
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Include *.log | select-string ERROR I found it here which has a great indepth answer!
For example, find all instances of "#include" in the c files in this directory and all sub-directories.
gci -r -i *.c | select-string "#include"gci is an alias for get-childitem
Just to expand on Monroecheeseman's answer. gci is an alias for Get-ChildItem (which is the equivalent to dir or ls), the -r switch does a recursive search and -i means include.
Piping the result of that query to select-string has it read each file and look for lines matching a regular expression (the provided one in this case is ERROR, but it can be any .NET regular expression).
The result will be a collection of match objects, showing the line matching, the file, and and other related information.
