Filter echo results from batch file output
Hey Experts. I have a small batch file that outputs the results of pslist (processes running on computer) into a log file. The output is great but I'm wanting to exclude certain things from ending up in the log file. How do I control what is echo'd or parse the results in the log file? Here is a small sample of what is in the log file:
I'd like to filter out the "svchost" and "chrome" results. I'm aware that there might be Powershell options but I'd like to keep the batch file. Thanks for your help.
