Regular expressions in findstr
This works for me:
findstr /r "^[1-9][0-9]*$ ^-[1-9][0-9]*$ ^0$"
If you don't use the /c
option, the <Strings>
argument is treated as a space-separated list of search strings, which makes the space a sort of crude replacement for the |
construct. (As long as your regexes don't contain spaces, that is.)
Argh, I should have read the documentation better. findstr
apparently doesn't support alternations (|
).
So I'm probably back to multiple invocations or replacing the whole thing with a custom parser eventually.
This is what I do for now:
