This is sentence A This is sentence B I my example above I got pid but also would like to get the price that follows the pid in the text file. Here is a regex option I am not sure how I would do more verification without a bit more thought, probably something with the context switch of select string, or maybe splitting the content to just work with sections at a time.
The only change I made to the above line is to include the -NoTypeInfomration switch. Here is the output I got from your sample input, which will read directly, and correctly into Excel.

How to search a string in multiple files and return the names of files in Powershell?
Ask Question. Asked 10 years, 2 months ago. Active 1 year, 4 months ago. Viewed k times. So far I have managed to recursively browse into the directory get-ChildItem -recurse and find the string I was looking for with get-content and select-string: Get-ChildItem -recurse Get-Content Select-String -pattern "dummy" The problem is, I can see the occurences of the text I am looking for, but I don't know how to tell PS to return the path and the name for every matching files as well.
How can I get the name and location of the files that contains the expression I am looking for? Bluz Bluz 4, 9 9 gold badges 27 27 silver badges 30 30 bronze badges.

Get-ChildItem -Recurse Select-String "dummy" -List Select Path returns only the first match for each file so may be a little more efficient and avoids the need to group them — ben. The long version of the command is shown here:. The last part of this article will be focused on how to search content in Microsoft Office files, because the Select-String approach will not work for these kind of files. A COM approach ComObject in Powershell to get the ability to read an search in Worksheets in Excel is the following the COM approach is usually slow and it requires to have Microsoft Office installed on the system on which the script will run, so keep all of this in mind :.
To use the above function, for. Here it is, instead, a way to search a specific string in multiple Word files, like Excel files above, in a function form:. Another way of searching and extracting data with Powershell will be using DocumentFormat. OpenXml assembly and importing it in Powershell , and then extracting properties and methods to manipulate Word, Excel and Powerpoint files, but this will be investigated more in a next article.
Primary Menu Skip to content. Search for: Search Button. Includes the specified items. Specifies the text to be searched. Enter a variable that contains the text, or type a command or expression that gets the text.
Using the InputObject parameter isn't the same as sending strings down the pipeline to Select-String. When you pipe more than one string to the Select-String cmdlet, it searches for the specified text in each string and returns each string that contains the search text. When you use the InputObject parameter to submit a collection of strings, Select-String treats the collection as a single combined string. Select-String returns the strings as a unit if it finds the search text in any string.
FileInfo objects are treated as a path to a file. When file paths are specified, Select-String searches the contents of the file, not the ToString representation of the object. Only the first instance of matching text is returned from each input file. This is the most efficient way to retrieve a list of files that have contents matching the regular expression. By default, Select-String returns a MatchInfo object for each match it finds.
Specifies the path to the files to be searched. The value of the LiteralPath parameter is used exactly as it's typed. No characters are interpreted as wildcards. If the path includes escape characters, enclose it in single quotation marks. Single quotation marks tell PowerShell not to interpret any characters as escape sequences. By default, Select-String highlights the string that matches the pattern you searched for with the Pattern parameter.
The NoEmphasis parameter disables the highlighting. The emphasis uses negative colors based on your PowerShell background and text colors.
For example, if your PowerShell colors are a black background with white text. The emphasis is a white background with black text. Specifies the path to the files to search. The default location is the local directory. Specify files in the directory, such as log1. If you specify only a directory, the command fails. The value is True if the pattern is found; otherwise the value is False.
Causes the cmdlet to output only the matching strings, rather than MatchInfo objects. This is the results in behavior that's the most similar to the Unix grep or Windows findstr. Indicates that the cmdlet uses a simple match rather than a regular expression match. In a simple match, Select-String searches the input for the text in the Pattern parameter. It doesn't interpret the value of the Pattern parameter as a regular expression statement.
When this parameter is used with the AllMatches parameter, the AllMatches is ignored. MatchInfo, System. Boolean, System. By default, the output is a set of MatchInfo objects with one for each match found. If you use the Quiet parameter, the output is a Boolean value indicating whether the pattern was found. If you use the Raw parameter, the output is a set of String objects that match the pattern. The sls alias for the Select-String cmdlet was introduced in PowerShell 3. Therefore, the proper alias for Select-String should be scs , not sls.
This is an exception to this rule. To use Select-String , type the text that you want to find as the value of the Pattern parameter. To specify the text to be searched, use the following criteria:. By default, Select-String interprets the value of the Pattern parameter as a regular expression.
