Print line if contains word

Question

I am trying to make a batch file to execute a few things for me.
Now I do understand a few programming languages, but I haven\'t done much in batch file programming yet.

Answer 1

If you are new to scripting, I would avoid batch (shell script) and use PowerShell. PowerShell is far more powerful and flexible.

get-content 'file.txt' | select-string 'node:(\s+)' | foreach-object {
  $_.Matches[0].Groups[1].Value
}

This command would output the first substring match (from inside parentheses in regular expression) from each line.
