How to find files containing a string with Powershell

A while ago a wrote a small post to remind me of How to find files containing a string in Unix.

Now, I have learned how to do pretty much the same thing but with Powershell:

get-childitem {directory} –include {file pattern} -recurse | select-string -pattern "{string to Find}" -casesensitive


You can write a path in {directory} or nothing to use the current directory.
