FIND is a filter that searches for the specified string of text in
one or more files which are specified by one or more pathnames.
Capitalization and punctuation in the string must be the same
as in the file.
Parameters
pathname is the file to search. If you omit the pathname option,
FIND uses text from the standard input device.
string is the text for which to search. Enclose the string in
quotes. For example, to search the Bookl.txt and Book2.txt files
in the current directory for all occurrences of this string:
The whiteness of the whale

find "The whiteness of the whale" book1.txt
boo k 2 . txt

MS-DOS displays the lines in the order in which the files are
specified. If the string contains quotations, enclose each quota-
tion in double quotes. For example, to find all occurrences of this
string:
Aye, "Moby D1Ck" is a whale of a story.
that are in the file Book1.txt in the current
directory, type:
find "aye, ""moby dlCk"" is a whale of a
s tor y . "b

string. Do not use this with the

IC
causes FIND to display only the number of lines (in each file)
that contain the string.

the file. Do not use this with the
IC
parameter.
