In PowerShell, the equivalent of grep -f
, which reads patterns from a file and searches for those patterns in another file, can be achieved using Select-String
. To search for multiple patterns from a file, use:
This command reads each line from pattern_file.txt
(containing the search patterns) and uses Select-String
to search the target_file.txt
. You can also use regular expressions for advanced matching, similar to grep
. For a case-insensitive search, add the -CaseSensitive:$false
flag.
