- Search for a pattern within a file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Select-String -Path "{{path/to/file}}" -Pattern '{{search_pattern}}'`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Search for an exact string (disables regular expressions):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Select-String -SimpleMatch "{{exact_string}}" {{path/to/file}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Search for pattern in all `.ext` files in current dir:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Select-String -Path "{{*.ext}}" -Pattern '{{search_pattern}}'`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Capture the specified number of lines before and after the line that matches the pattern:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Select-String --Context {{2,3}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Search stdin for lines that do not match a pattern:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Get-Content {{path/to/file}} | Select-String --NotMatch "{{search_pattern}}"`
