pipe STDERR to find...

[catalinnc]

hi...


how can i improve this line so i can capture the STDERR (or both STDOUT & STDERR)?
tool.exe outputs a report to STDOUT (when all is OK) and some BEWARE/WARNING/ERROR to STDERR (when something is dubious)...

Code: Select all

tool.exe some.file | find "ERROR"

respect...

I invite you to review this related post. For example, using this test Batch file:

Code: Select all

@echo off
echo This line to Stdout
ping -n 2 -w 1 localhost > NUL
echo THIS LINE IS AN ERROR! >&2
ping -n 2 -w 1 localhost > NUL
echo This line is normal
ping -n 2 -w 1 localhost > NUL
echo Another line to Stderr >&2
ping -n 2 -w 1 localhost > NUL
echo The last normal line

... and execute it this way:

Code: Select all

"test.bat" 2>&1 1>&3 | AnsiSys.exe 4E

.. show this output:


You may also use FINDSTR to mark the lines from StdErr in this simpler way:

Code: Select all

test.bat 2>&1 1>&3 | findstr /A:4E /N "^"

... but in this case just the numbers of the lines from Stderr will be displayed in other color.
