How to return nearby lines when using "findstr" command in Windows Command Prompt?




I find the findstr useful when searching for lines in files.



However, I want to use it like grep -C <n>, to return nearby lines of the matched line.



How can I do this in Windows?

  • I'd use PowerShell instead and it's Select-String with the -context parameter.
