Additional documentation for the FINDSTR command
I've discovered loads of undocumented features and limitations (bugs) for the FINDSTR command. I posted the info on the StackExchange StackOverflow site:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/8844868/1012053
You may want to update your FINDSTR reference page with some of the information, and/or provide a link to the above post.

Re: Additional documentation for the FINDSTR command
Thanks Dave, I'll try and get around to this, and the wildcard thing over the next few days.

I've now updated http://ss64.com/nt/findstr.html
and included a credit at the bottom of the page.
Great job Dave - really comprehensive!

Re: Additional documentation for the FINDSTR command
I updated my SO FINDSTR post with two new sections:
1) Description of XP behavior displaying most control characters as dots
2) Bugged /S and /D options may fail to find files if short 8.3 names are encountered.
