                                    Find strings with case-insensitive search using -i flag as follows:
findstr -i &quot;Case_insensitive_substring&quot;
For example:
dir | findstr -i &quot;Case_insensitive_file_name&quot;

                                    Just specify /S to search in all subfolders and match all files with regex *:
findstr /S string_to_search *

Thank you! 2
