Use the "FIND" or "FINDSTR" command. As with any of the command line
tools, you can redirect the output to a file, a printer, or pipe it to
another command.

The following link will take you to the documentation for both of those
commands:

Take a look at "FILTER" as well. It's often used in combination with
DIR, FIND, and FINDSTR.
