Hi Team,

currently impleneting C api both for windows and linux.
In Linux using grep and found the best alternate in windows is findstr .But while converting below patterns facing issues.Need some pointers

Below is the list of commands

grep "id-test-abc-revocationValues -A 1"
grep -e ":d=3 .*: cont [ 1 ]"
grep "d=5 .*OCTET STRING"
grep ":d=1"

All it's converted findstr are giving extra output.

Need some pointers for the same.

There is no grep in Windows so many of us here are not familiar with its command syntax. When you say: "facing issues.", you're going to have to explain what the issue is. Are you searching for content in files? What "extra output" is findstr producing.

when you have wsl installed (as you probably have when you are devloping for Windows and Linux) you can call grep from a Windows command line: Run Linux tools from a Windows command line
