Findstr on server results in "Specify only /L or /R."

I have been using this line on my machine (Windows 7 Pro version 6.1.7601) with success:

Code: Select all

findstr /vis:%File1%  %File2%  >> %LogFile%:

This copies all the lines where there is no match between the two files into the log file.
But when I loaded it on the Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server (version 6.1.7601) and ran the batch file I got the following:
FINDSTR: /: ignored
FINDSTR: /: ignored
FINDSTR: /\ ignored
FINDSTR: /A ignored
FINDSTR: /c ignored
FINDSTR: /h ignored
FINDSTR: /d ignored
FINDSTR: /D ignored
FINDSTR: /a ignored
FINDSTR: /t ignored
FINDSTR: /a ignored
FINDSTR: /_ ignored
FINDSTR: /Y ignored
FINDSTR: /a ignored
FINDSTR: /f ignored
FINDSTR: /f ignored
FINDSTR: /\ ignored
FINDSTR: /H ignored
FINDSTR: /F ignored
FINDSTR: /\ ignored
FINDSTR: /C ignored
FINDSTR: /D ignored
FINDSTR: /T ignored
FINDSTR: /W ignored
FINDSTR: /_ ignored
FINDSTR: /a ignored
FINDSTR: /t ignored
FINDSTR: /. ignored
FINDSTR: /c ignored
Specify only /L or /R.

I've messed around with it but nothing I do helps, and I can't find anything on any of the forums. Has anyone else seen this? Thank you!

I don't think so. This is not the way options /v /i and /s work. I assume /s was a typo and should rather be /g.

You were right, I wasn't doing it correctly before. I switched it to /V /G and it works correctly on both platforms now, thank you!
