Get-Service | Out-String | sls “Sec” # Doesn’t work, I don’t know why? So, my thinking here is immediately “ok, I need to make Get-Service a string then!”, but that doesn’t work … I don’t get why this won’t work, can you explain that? Side-note: sls is non-case-sensitive (like all PowerShell commands), but even though findstr is a Microsoft command, it *is* case-sensitive (as with all unix commands like grep). Get-Service | findstr “Sec” # This works, because a DOS command only sees strings. Get-Service | sls “Sec” # cannot work because sls does not have a string to work with, makes sense. So while your clarification here ( where name -like “*SMS*” ) makes perfect sense, I’m still a bit confused: Hi Thomas, indeed, grep and findstr are only ever dealing with strings, and PowerShell commands are all enabled to work with object on the PowerShell pipeline.

Also, have a look at my blog post about how to install PowerShell 6 and PowerShell 7.
I hope this gives you an idea of how you can use a grep and findstr replacement in PowerShell using Select-String. To see the examples, type: “get-help Select-String -examples”.įor more information, type: “get-help Select-String -detailed”.įor technical information, type: “get-help Select-String -full”. You can also specify that Select-String should expect a particular character encoding, such as when you are searching files of Unicode text. It can also display all text that does not match the specified pattern. Select-String can display all of the text matches or stop after the first match in each input file. Select-String uses regular expression matching, but it can also perform a simple match that searches the input for the text that you specify. However, you can direct it to detect multiple matches per line, display text before and after the match, or display only a Boolean value (true or false) that indicates whether a match is found. By default, Select-String finds the first match in each line and, for each match, it displays the file name, line number, and all text in the line containing the match. You can use it like Grep in UNIX and Findstr in Windows with Select-String in PowerShell. The Select-String cmdlet searches for text and text patterns in input strings and files.

Select-String can also be very useful to count your lines of code in different files using PowerShell. More Information about Select-String on Microsoft Docs. Get-ChildItem C:\temp - Filter *.log -Recurse | Select-String "Contoso" | Copy-Item -Destination C:\temp2
