Creating a search from a file

Post by Kpiwara »

I have a big text file and I need a search for all lines with an OR so I can copy those results to another folder.

Something like this:
File.txt:
line1
line2
line3
line4
lineN

becoming a search for:

line1 | line2 | line3 | line4 | ... lineN

Is there an option ?
Can it be done with the CLI ? A Batch on DOS ?

Thanks !
