Windows command find : looking for a string OR another

Using the find command, I'd like to look for a string or another.

It seems this is not possible, but I'd like to make sure I didn't overlook a way to do it.


If, by chance, you are talking about Windows command line (which is not DOS), then there is findstr:

findstr "one two three"

Yes, quoted as single argument. Alternative syntax which allows spaces in strings:

findstr /c:"one" /c:"two"

findstr claims to support regular expressions, but I could not get one|two to work.
