Hi.

I'm looking for a freeware that:

1) Opens a text file
2) Copies the lines that contain a given string into another file.

Thanks.

type textfile.txt |find /i "given string" > outfile.txt

/i is to enable case insensitivity.

TextExtract is a small but powerful program that scans one or more files
for text strings, extracts them and saves them into a separate file.
Useful if, say, you have a corrupted word processor file, or if you just
want to see what text, if any, is inside a file. Configurable
extraction.
Lovely interface. Very straightforward to use.

TextExtract is free to use from its GUI (ie. the buttons and that) and
shareware if you use it from its command-line interface.

$ cat <file> | grep <string> > output.txt
