Hello,
I have a question that perhaps you can assist with. I have multiple files and folders on windows 10 with emails,hashes etc... stored in txt documents. I have been successfully using the command Findstr "String" E:\DBs\*.* in a command prompt to search for many of the hashes. However too often I come across some that return "FINDSTR: Line ###### is too long." It's pretty frustrating since it has been far the fastest way to locate particular strings within a text document with exception to those it deems too long to print even a truncated result or at the very least name the document it was found in.

I understand that this is a limitation of Findstr but is there any way to override the string length or any kind of work around to get past this limitation? Perhaps another command that could work in a similar way returning the line of the search string within multiple folder/documents. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, Ive tried a few software options, none seem to work even after hours of indexing.

Thanks in advance.
