Searching for content in text files with powershell
Hey all,
I need a powershell script that will search through all of the text files in
a directory, and copy those files that contain a given term into another
file. This is the line I am having trouble with:
Get-Content *.* | Select-String -pattern "$term" -context 20,20
-caseSensitive | Out-File E:\test.txt
With this, the script locates the terms all right, but because I had to use
context 20,20 in order to get the whole file where the term lives, it grabs a
bunch of useless data as well. Is there any way that I can just paste a file
where the term occurs?
