Matching Inverse of String in Windows CLI

  • 772

Can anyone show me a good example of how to match it. Maybe I misread the documentation a bunch of times, but it does not even some close to how real tools like grep ought to work. The output of the following command, wmic /output:stdout csproduct get identifyingnumber looks like so.

IdentifyingNumber

ABC1234

wmic csproduct get identifyingnumber | findstr with parameters to remove column header | clip

I am not sure what to do because I cannot find an exact example of what I am looking for my batch file since I need the serial enough. Any thoughts?

EDIT: I like PowerShell, but I really need to know how to do this in batch (must be possible) for XP machines as well. I am just surprised I could not figure this out. I mean, this should be simple!
