How to find a word in CMD command output

Question

i'm trying to find a word in a CMD command output (like using ctrl+f in a file) the output contains a lot of lines ...

Any hints ? thanks .

Answer 1

find "yourword" filename

to show your word in any line of a file.

yourcommandgivingsoneoutput | find "yourword"

to examine the output of some command for your word.

If you just want to see whether your word ixists in the data, then append >nul to the line to suppress output and on the next line of (presumably) your batch use

if errorlevel 1 (echo word missing) else (echo word found)
