How to show lines of a text file that contain a certain keyword - CMD

Question

I need some way to show the lines of text file that contain a certain keyword. It's usually TYPE path:\to\file but I want it to show all lines that contain a keyword of choice.

Regard ;)

Answer 1

Try find "keyword" path:\to\file

Answer 2

find "keyword" path:\to\file or findstr /c:"keyword" path:\to\file are options. If you want to clear the ---------- FileName part of the output you can use

type path:\to\file | find "keyword" or type path:\to\file | findstr /c:"keyword"

to show line numbers use /n

type path:\to\file | find /n "keyword"

or

type path:\to\file | findstr /n /c:"keyword"

EDIT

foxidrive reminded another way (see the comment):

find "keyword" < "path:\to\file"

Answer 3

In UNIX, grep does this.

In Windows, you can use Powershell commands for a grep equivalent.
