DOS Command FindStr

command, dos, findstr

Solution

Do yo try /p? Help says: "/P Skip files with non-printable characters."

Problem

I have a need to use the DOS command FINDSTR to search in all our source code files mixed with other types of files such as PDF, exe, dll, etc. I do not need to search those binary files. Is there a way to exclude binary files? My command looks like ``` findstr /r /n /o /s /g:c:\projects\vsssearch\muafinddata.txt /d:c:/projects/axl *.axl > output.txt ``` Thanks in advance for any insight. John
