                            FIND

FIND is an external command that searches for a specific string of text
in one or more files or the output from another command.

    FIND [/V][/C][/N] "string" [d:][pathname]filename[.ext]...
or
    command | FIND [/V][/C][/N] "string" 

/V tells FIND to display all lines not containing the string.

/C causes FIND to count the lines that contain the string.

/N displays a relative line number in front of each line containing "string".

"string" is the text that you wish to find surrounded by double quotes.

[d:][pathname]filename[.ext] is the file to be searched. More than one file 
    may be specified. If no file is specified, FIND will search the text that 
    is entered from the keyboard or from a file or device (using redirection). 

command is another DOS command, such as DIR.

NOTE: Wildcards CANNOT be used with the FIND command. Look at the examples in
the BATCH_COMMANDS HINTS PARAMETERS EXAMPLES for a way around this limitation.
