Searching Double quote using FINDSTR inside FOR

[CodedZyntaX]

Hi Guys,


I need help please.

I have a test file named s.txt.

Here's the contents of the s.txt:

$
%
"

When I type in

FINDSTR /n /c:""" s.txt

in the command line the output is 3:".

However when I type in

FOR /f "tokens=1 delims=:" %a in ('FINDSTR /n /c:"""' s.txt') do echo %a

after I pressed the ENTER key it's asking me "More?".

Please help me.

[!k]

FOR /f "tokens=1 delims=:" %a in ('FINDSTR /n /c:^"^"^" s.txt') do echo %a

Again, Thank you!
