PowerShell FINDSTR eqivalent?

Question

What\'s the DOS FINDSTR equivalent for PowerShell? I need to search a bunch of log files for \"ERROR\".

Answer 1

if ($entry.EntryType -eq "Error")

Being Object Oriented, you want to test the property in question with one of the standard comparison operators you can find here.

I have a PS script watching logs remotely for me right now - some simple modification should make it work for you.

edit: I suppose I should also add that is a cmdlet built for this already if you don't want to unroll the way I did. Check out:

man Get-EventLog
Get-EventLog -newest 5 -logname System -EntryType Error
