Maybe something like:

type * 2>NUL | perl -n -e "print if /^Total\s\d{1,5}/;" > ..\newFile

When you use type with a wildcard like this, the file name being "typed" is sent to STDERR. The above removes those by redirecting STDERR to NUL (aka "the bit bucket".) The -n switch on perl wraps the program in a "while (<>) {}" loop... the "program" then prints the line if the pattern matches what you want (please note, you'll have to play with the pattern to make it what you really want). Those results are then redirected to newFile in the parent directory.

Again, the pattern I have is not exactly the same as yours (for example, I anchored it to the start of the line.) You might also want to make it case insensitive.

I'm not around very much, so chances are I may well miss any follow up questions... I'm just hoping this helps out a tad.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
