I get a lot of output on my screen.If I want only those lines which have physical addeess in text output or say line that have DNS Servers only in ouput. Then is there an easy way to do a grep on these in outout in Windows 10 cmd. Or suppose in above output I want to see only output for section Vmnet8
then how can I grep it?
Download the free MOBAXTERM then navigate through your windows OS same as if you are using Linux. Then you will be able to use grep etc.
