#110: How to search a string in all files in a folder recursively using Powershell?

 Sometimes, we run into a situation where we are looking for certain entries in all files in a directory and withing all the directories. Below is a small code snippet that might help:

# Define the folder path to search

$folderPath = "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder"

# Define the string to search for

$searchString = "your_search_string_here"

# Search for the string in all files recursively

Get-ChildItem -Path $folderPath -Recurse |

    Where-Object { !$_.PSIsContainer } |

    ForEach-Object {

        $filePath = $_.FullName

        $content = Get-Content -Path $filePath -Raw

        if ($content -match $searchString) {

            Write-Output "Found '$searchString' in file: $filePath"

        }

    }

Thanks!!
