Calling Findstr.exe from Java program

You don't need finstr in order to accomplish this task. You need to take a look at the documentation for java.lang.String, specifically the indexOf methods might be useful. Also, I assume you already know that you'll find the java.io.File and related classes necessary.

The documentation can, of course, be found at sun's site. Here's a link to the Java 1.4 API documentation:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/index.html
If you're using another version, you can nose around and find thedocuments that relate specifically to your version, but I don't think much has changed in the String and File classes.

it's pretty simple to call the native progs from java:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("findstr. exe {params}");
InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
OutputStream os = p.getOutputStream();
now u can read and write from/to streams - communicate with the tool.
