findstr command

Question

Hi,
I'm sorry for the poor English.

I am creating a batch that outputs the lock status of a specific folder with the "opnefies command" and "findstr command".

Since the folder contains a yen mark, please tell me how to search for the yen mark as a character string.

openfiles /query /v |findstr /R "C:\Program" NG
openfiles /query /v |findstr /R "C://Program" NG
openfiles /query /v |findstr /L "C:\Program" NG
openfiles /query /v |findstr /C:"C:\Program" NG
openfiles /query /v |findstr /R "C:/Program" NG

Thanks.

Hi,

The findstr command does not work with the non-ASCII characters. You can try PowerShell instead.

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Executionpolicy Bypass -command "openfiles /query /v | Where-Object {$_ -match 'C:¥Program'}"
