Select-String is a cmdlet that is used to search text & the patterns in input strings & files. It is similar to grep on Linux & FINDSTR on Windows 11/10.

You can view a Text file in Command Prompt or PowerShell in Windows 11/10. You can view the entire content of TXT, a specific line, etc.

Whether the string you're looking for inside a text file is a single word or a complicated pattern, PowerShell has the ability to find and replace just about anything.

If you need to find and replace the occurrence of a word, phrase, URL, or whatever, and it's in several documents, this can be a really tedious task.

Perform batch find and replace operations over multiple text files throughout directories with FART in the Windows command window.
