How can I find multiple values from windows command line output?

  • 772

Example, to see if KB983590 is installed:

systeminfo | find "KB983590"

But what if I wanted to find out if more then one KB was installed?

    Try this:

    systeminfo | findstr "KB"

    You can also use /i for case insensitive searching. Run findstr /? for even more options.

    If you want to search for just a subset of patches, use spaces in between entries:

    systeminfo | findstr "KB958488 KB976902 KB976932"
    • 2

  2. You can use a line like this:

    FOR /F "usebackq tokens=5 delims= " %i IN (`netstat -ano ^|find "ESTABLISHED"`) DO @tasklist /fi "pid eq %i" | find "%i"

    or, a bit shorter, this does the same:

    netstat -a -b -n -o | findstr ESTABLISHED || tasklist | findstr PID

  3. I'd go the route of 'find' instead of 'findstr' (simpler/easier)

    systeminfo | find /I "kb"

    you'll get your list.

    use for /f to organize the data easier such as 

    for /f "tokens=2* delims= " %F IN ('systeminfo ^| find /I "kb"') DO ECHO %F%G%H

    that will get rid of the numbered sequence from the beginning of each line.

    if you want only the KB#####, change the tokens value to only 2 without the asterisk, and change the ending ECHO to just ECHO %F

    for /f "tokens=2* delims= " %F IN ('systeminfo ^| find /I "kb"') DO ECHO %F%G%H>>"%USERPROFILE%\desktop\systeminfo.txt"

    will throw it on your desktop as a .TXT file

    of course if you want it ina batch file, make sure your %F has an extra % (%%F)

  4. You could also join multiple commands using &&

    setlocal
set USERNAME=rbrown
net user %USERNAME% /domain | Find /i "Full Name" && net user %USERNAME% /domain | Find /i "Password expires"
endlocal
