It’s easy to test...

Put

Quote:


Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions
Windows Management Instrumentation





Into a text file. And do this from a command prompt.


Type test.txt | find /i "Windows Management Instrumentation"


The find command finds both strings. Now remove "Windows Management Instrumentation" from the test file.... and the find command will find "Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions" even if you were searching for "Windows Management Instrumentation"

with that way one won't be doomed to rely on wsh which might be disbaled for security reasons in the enterprise environment.

Findtsr would be sufficient used with the /X switch, no? Plus it will be most probably available on any M$ OS ...

not sure of os coverage for findstr but it is on 2000 and XP.

you can use /x /e or a regular expression.

Well FIND has been around since MS-DOS 2.0 so I think it will be safe to use for you

but find does not cut it in this situation as it will provide a false positive since it does not support regular expressions, the concept of an exact match, or any idea of beginning or end of line.

to be honest findstr may be available on a NT4 etc machine but I cant remember. I can only say for definite that findstr appears on xp and 2000.

And again grep is also an alternative that I would end up using as I am used to using it but findstr is just as suitable and may be available as part of the OS
