Batch File: Regular Expression

Hi there,

I need to learn more about "Regular Expressions" in a batch file.

Here is an example from "Qlemo".

QUESTION:
Please provide URL of any educational material that will teach me on using "regular expressions" in a batch file, or any quick fix for my knowledge bug.

Thanks for your help,
Rene

for /F %%C in ('help ^| findstr /B "[A-Z]" ^| findstr /V "For HELP" ') do ^
help %C | find /i "%~1" >nul && (
   echo,
   echo -------- %C --------
   help %C
   echo,
   pause
)

Thanks bp!

I feel like a blond here (no offence to these lively people).

If I dont have examples, I'm a dom dom case.

Do you know of any web site with examples that would cover most possibilities?

Thanks and cheers,
Rene
