The FIND command is used to find occurrences of a specified character string
and act upon the match as instructed in the command.  The command is very
powerful when combined with other DOS commands.  The command format is
as follows:

      FIND [/V][/C][/N]"string" [[d:][path]filename[.ext] ...]

A character string may be any group of letter, number and punctuation
characters (including spaces) enclosed with quotes (").  The filename does
not need to be provided, since input may come from other sources (as described
below).  More than one filename may be provided, in which case they are
searched sequentially for matches with the specified character string.  Global
filename characters "*" and "?" are not allowed in the filename or extension.

These options may be included in the command:

/V  - All lines NOT containing the string are displayed.

/C  - The total number of matching occurrences in each file is displayed
      without displaying the matching lines.

/N  - The relative line number of each line containing a match is displayed to
      the left of the displayed line.
NOTES **
* To include a quote in the character string, enter two quotes in succession.
  This is interpreted as a single quote by FIND.
* The string enclosed in quotes must exactly match the string to be found
  (upper and lowercase will not match).

The following examples show some of the capabilities of FIND:
FIND "IBM PC" printer.cat displays.cat
     - This command will find all occurrences of "IBM PC" in the two files
       and output the matching lines from printer.cat first and displays.cat
       second.

FIND "Bailey" MAILLIST >PRN
     - This command will find all lines in the file MAILLIST with the name
       "Bailey" and output all matching lines to the printer (see the help
       file REDIRECT for directions to redirect output).

DIR |FIND " BAS" |SORT
     - This command takes the output from the DIR command and finds all the
       lines containing " BAS".  These lines are then sent to the SORT command
       which sorts all the lines and outputs the results on the display (see
       the help files PIPING and SORT for more information).  The leading blank
       ensures that only filename extensions are matched.
