In bash, I could use grep -A option to see additional lines, but it is not possible with findstr. Is there any other alternative to grep or grep -A option? Thanks.

For advanced search look here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Advanced-tips-for-searching-in-Windows You would make use of some Windows programming internals more than UNIX/Linux command lines. Alternate method is based on Powershell (PS). PS is more advatageous, because you work with complex structures (object) and the transfer of knowledge of .NET gives you another vector in your administrator work. Test SFU, if it gives you what you need http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX Regards Milos

1.gnuwin32 grep is a excellent port of grep to windows. 2.In Powershell, select-string pattern -context num1,num2 file_path could resemble grep -A.
