This means the lines are much larger and could include the entire file.
/E Matches the search string against the end of the line.
/L Interprets the search strings literally. This means you no longer have access to regular
expressions, and you also don??™t have to escape the special characters.
/R Defines the search string as a regular expression. See the ???Using Regular Expressions at the
Command Prompt??? sidebar for additional information.
/S Looks for the search string in the specified files in the current directory and all subdirectories.
When you use this command line switch in the root directory of a hard drive, you can search the
entire hard drive for a search string. Because FindStr actually looks in every file, you??™ll find this
process can take a long time.

/I Performs a case-insensitive search. Normally, FindStr differentiates between Hello and
hello??”using this command line switch changes that behavior so the two capitalizations are
treated the same.
/X Prints only the lines that match the search string exactly.
/V Prints only the lines that don??™t contain an exact match.
