FIND
Searches a file for a specific string of text.
The FIND command searches for a text string in a file or group of files.
If no files are given, FIND reads standard input and can be used in a pipe.
COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 2.0 and up
USE: FIND [/V][/C][/N]"string" [[d:][path]filename...]
filename is the file to be searched, with optional drive and path.
Several files may be listed, but no wildcards are accepted.
/V displays the lines that don't contain the requested string.
/C displays the number of lines that contain a match of the string
/N displays the number of each line that contains a match along with the
line of text.
"string" is the string of text to search for. It must be enclosed in
quotes. To include quotes in the string, use two sets e.g. "this is a
""quoted string"" "
If no parameters are entered, all lines that contain a match of the
requested string will be displayed. The string must be an exact match
(i.e the search is case sensitive).
