Some basic windows questions

[Former Member]

I am sorry to ask these but hope somebody can help.

1) what is the equavelent of "| grep" ( i.e. pipe and grep in UNIX)

2) how to direct the output on a cmd to a file? In UNIX, it is "script file-name" before the output.

Please help. Thanks a lot!

Hi Linda

Instead of grep use CTRL+F to search in windows.

to redirect out put of file.bat to file2.txt type the following in command prompt of windows

>file.bat >file2.txt

Use "help" in command prompt to know about windows command

Mr.Bose:

Thanks!

However, I am issuing the command

"netstat -abon" and the output is too long. That's why I want

netstat -abon|grep 6001 (to find the string "6001".

Please help then I close this thread. Regards!

Hello,

You have run "tasklist" to get the process list.On your command prompt try these:

1)tasklist | grep <process_name>

For outputting them to text files, please check these commands.

2) tasklist > D:\ test.txt

3)tasklist | grep <process name> > D:\"file".txt

thanks,Prasanna

Hi Linda

use

>netstat -abon >out.txt

This will redirect the out put of netstat -abon to out.txt file. out.txt file will be created where you invoke the commad prompt from, generally "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator". Then you can search in that file any string like '6001'

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Linda,

Regrading your grep question you can use the find command

more file.txt | find "text"
