how to return a string with findstr in windows with matching substring
I have a string in a file like,
async.AsyncTranslationThread - processPart: Finished Processing job number: J215577 partID: 151269
any many more.
I want to return only that line which has substring Finished Processing job number
I wrote a findstr command with regex like
findstr /R "^.*FinishedsProcessingsjobsnumber.*$" filename
I am getting nothing in return, what would be the change in regex to get the string with substring in it?
regex findstr

If you take a look at the documentation, findstr doesn't support most traditional regex features, such as s, which you are using. It doesn't even support the + quantifier!
The following table lists the metacharacters that findstr accepts.
| Meta Character | Value
| . | Wildcard: any character
| * | Repeat: zero or more occurrences of the previous character or class
| ^ | Line position: beginning of the line
| $ | Line position: end of the line
| [class] | Character class: any one character in a set
| [^class] | Inverse class: any one character not in a set
| [x-y] | Range: any characters within the specified range
| x | Escape: literal use of a metacharacter x
| <string | Word position: beginning of the word
| string> | Word position: end of the word
You can easily get away with this, and it'll still accept it if even there are multiple spaces or tabs:
findstr /c:"Finished Processing job number" filename
Furthermore, it seems that it's not even case sensitive by default

this will match single word as well. I want to have only the line which has all this word in it.
